Acts 1:9-11
After he had said this, he was taken up as they were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 While he was going, they were gazing into heaven, and suddenly two men in white clothes stood by them. 11 They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen him going into heaven.”
Last night I had a really, REALLY good dream!! A pastor friend of mine, asked me to come to his new church and sing. I never turn down an invitation from him, so I went. I sat down at the piano and sang the old Cathedral Quartet classic, "We Shall See Jesus" and when I got to the chorus, the rapture took place. I was caught up in the air with all the saints!!!!
It reminded me this morning that “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels of heaven nor the Son—except the Father alone." Matthew 24:36 and that it could happen anytime, and I mean ANYTIME!!!! The time is growing short, and as believers we must put aside differences and get into the field and get the harvest. So many people are still lost without the Grace and Love that they will only find in Jesus, we must show them Him and not our doctrine. He said this, "As for me, if I am lifted up[a] from the earth I will draw all people to myself.” John 12:32 We lift him up as the crucified, risen Lord who says "Whosoever will may come" regardless of their past, or who they are or were, just come.
I have been fishing once or twice in my life and I never caught a pre-cleaned fish. As a matter of fact, I don't like touching the fish if I can help it, but I never was responsible for the cleaning, my Dad always handled that and I was thankful. In the same way as we are fishers of men, we are not required or asked to clean them, our Heavenly Father handles all those details.
Lets get as many ready as we can, because he could come at any moment and I want as many as are willing to go to heaven too.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you friends.
Eric
