The Lord Jesus has promised to take all who...

I will come again and receive you to myself.

And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:17.

The Lord Jesus has promised to take all who trust in Him for salvation to be with Him for eternity. When it actually happens, can you imagine what the newspapers will report on the following day? Headlines like: "Millions of the world's inhabitants disappear" will bring varied reactions. Some will rejoice at first: they will never again be troubled by gospel preaching; there will be countless houses to occupy and bank accounts to plunder etc. Others may be perturbed by the sobering thought that the Bible was true after all, and rightly so! The last chance of salvation through Christ's work of redemption has gone; all that remains is God's judgment and hell.

The coming of the Lord Jesus for His own may have disastrous consequences for some people. Danger, suffering and chaos will be widespread: What will happen when the drivers of vehicles suddenly vanish from them? Or when teams of workmen and responsible office personnel are depleted without notice?

Bible teaching that has been rejected by those left here predicts subsequent calamitous times on earth. Life will certainly not get any easier. Then when God intervenes in judgment, none will be spared.

These thoughts are not sheer pessimism or foolishness: they should be seen as a warning not to let the opportunity of salvation pass by. God gave His Son to be the Saviour of the world. But the blessings of salvation are reserved solely for those who accept it by faith.

Please read Matthew 25, vv. 1-13.

PROVOKING POSITIVE CHANGE

Change is one event that is constant in life. Change denotes movement from one state to another. There are two categories of change: positive and negative.
