Coming off Easter week with a new understanding of the depth of Christ's Love

Easter is a time of renewal. It hurts to know the cost that was paid for that renewal. Sometimes it seems way too steep. You loose sleep, and the people you may have thought were your friends. They don't understand. How can they? Everyone around them tells that its okay. But it isn't. There are literally thousands lost. Why? Because they rejected Christ and his message. They made a conscious choice to embrace the darkness. Christ understood that. He knew and does know human nature.

He died so that we might have life. What does that mean? It means that he took on our sin debt on his shoulders. He paid the price, so that we wouldn't have to. Yet there are too many that turn their backs on that sacrifice. I pity the children of these unholy unions. They think they are so right, that they will be vindicated for their actions. Their day is coming....a day that I dread to even look at in the face. I don't want to be in their shoes when the day of wrath comes like a thief in the night. It will come soon.

Will you rejoice to see that day? Strangely enough I do, because on that day I will see Jesus face to face. Yet I also mourn for those around me who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. The consequences will be severe for those who repeatedly deny the Lord. I shiver when I think about the coming wrath, for I know that there are too many that are "playacting" Christianity. They are not time warriors, I tell myself. How could they understand that this period of renewal when no one tells them the truth?

Awake....the time is short. The Lord is calling those who will follow him now. He will not wait for the stragglers or for those who have not prepared themselves to meet the Lord. Now is the time to stand up for your beliefs and follow in Jesus' footsteps.

How will they hear? How will they know that he is coming? He is at the door....in this season of renewal...he waits for the right time.
