JESUS is Coming Soon!

 Happy Sunday!

"I always thank my God for YOU 

and for the Gracious GIFTS he has given you, 

now that you BELONG to Christ Jesus. 

THROUGH him, 

God has ENRICHED your church in every way—with all of your eloquent words and all of your KNOWLEDGE. 

This CONFIRMS that what I told you about Christ is TRUE. 

NOW you have EVERY spiritual gift you NEED as you eagerly WAIT for The RETURN of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He will KEEP you STRONG to the end so that you will be FREE from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 

God will do this, for he is FAITHFUL to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."(1 Corinthians 1:4-9 NLT).

JESUS is Coming Soon!  Are you ready?  I know, I know!  You're thinking, "Cynthia, they've been saying that for hundreds of years now!"  BUT it's true.  2 Peter 3:3-4 says, "Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”(NLT).  The Apostle Peter goes on to explain the delay, "The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want ANYONE to be destroyed, but wants EVERYONE to repent."(2 Peter 3:9 NLT).

Think about what would have happened to us if Jesus had come before we accepted HIM as our Lord and Savior.  What a Blessing it is that HE gave us time to REPENT, and turn from our wicked ways!  NOW, he wants us to tell others!  Jesus commanded us to, "GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."(Matthew 28:19-20 KJV).

Love and prayers, Cynthia
