HE HAS APPOINTED A DAY

Acts 17:31 (NKJV) 31 ... He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness ...
     The world knows a day of judgment is coming, however most people live as if it will not be in their life time. The author to the Romans writes the whole earth is groaning, he means nature and all it contains is in an endless cycle of waiting, until God reveals Himself in all His Glory, "On that day!" What does this mean, I am so glad you asked?
     Jesus repeats again and again a day of judgment is coming for all mankind, to some a glorious eternity awaits, to others a horrible separation from human existence and deep, dark, fiery, punishment. Matthew 13:42 Some fear the reality of this conversation, others mock and live accordingly, still others find comfort in knowing there is justice for living by God's standards.
    Then there are those who have found peace in Jesus Christ, who says in, John 14:6 (NKJV) .., "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. The contract (an agreement that will not be broken) says, all who come to Jesus will receive eternal life, Romans 10:9-11, He promises to rescue us and that nothing will keep Him from that mission.
    Jesus will judge the world, it is waiting for that day, if creation is waiting for that day, shouldn't we be living like He will arrive any minute as well? "He has appointed a day."
Heavenly Father, help us to clearly articulate you are coming soon, all evidence points to that day. Let us be hopeful, helpful, and living full of You, so that others might drawn to You. May the Light of Jesus so shine through us that all see Your Love and Mercy! Amen
