GOD’S WORD FOR MARCH 20
GOD’S WORD FOR MARCH 20 ~ ~Matthew 24:2 ~ ~ “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
In school, we were taught that as a cloud moves through the air it picks up electrical charge because of turbulence. This eventually causes lightning.
But scientists have found that thunderclouds are able to generate only one tenth of the electrical field that is necessary to create a lightning bolt.
The rest comes from cosmic rays. Think of electricity as electrons flowing like water. Cosmic rays penetrating the cloud detach additional electrons from the oxygen and nitrogen in the cloud. These extra electrons are then accelerated in the cloud’s electric fields, producing small avalanches of electrons. These avalanches grow and combine as they flow to the bottom of the cloud, finally to erupt as a stroke of lightning!
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is returning to Earth to judge all mankind. When He does, says the Bible, everyone will know about it because His return will be like a giant bolt of lightning crossing the entire sky. And indeed, His glory will put the lightning bolts to shame! Just as the time to make yourself safe from lightning is before it strikes, so the time to find out how to be prepared to meet Christ is before He appears, because when He comes, there will be no time.
Worldwide events are happening now that point to Christ’s victorious coming. The timing is entirely in God’s hands, so it could be another hundred years, if, in His mercy, He delays it for more people to be saved. Or it could be soon…..very soon. It could be before the death of some people living today.
The fact that we don’t know when, should make everyone take their eternity seriously. Of course, we don’t know the day of our own death either. Have you made Him your personal savior? Have you told others about Him?
2 Corinthians 6:2
“For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
Hebrews 2:3
“how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard”
Live in the Light of Our Lord
