We believers in Jesus are all going to have to learn more and more to keep our eyes on the future that is ours, the coming time in Heaven with Jesus and his Father and then on earth when and after Jesus sets up Kingdom rule from Jerusalem.
We just can’t keep getting so distraught over all the ungodly behavior and rules and laws and practices of society today. The government of America is obviously an ungodly one. Many traditional churches are obviously lost, accepting behavior and lifestyles that are an abomination to God. The leaders of so many areas of life are similarly lost. And the daily outpouring of programs and entertainment and such is overflowing with ungodly material. People are deluged with all that.
We must focus on the joy that is ours and is coming soon, just as Jesus looked to that joy in Hebrews 12:2. And we have to focus on him always.
The world is a lost system. The majority are just lost. It is only a few that go with the Lord when he comes. A remnant, a small number, whatever you want to call it. Jesus himself said few are they who find it, referring to the way to true life.
By now I expect you are coming to the realization that these little sparks of hope that appear on earth in the form of a politician here or there or perhaps a small movement here or there are just that. Small sparks and movements. The mass are not going to be deterred in their unknowing march to the new world order, the new one-world government. They are not going to be deterred in their march straight into hell following the white throne judgement that awaits them.
I just read a commentator pondering why in the recent election the results went so contrary to expectations. And then he made the observation – the mass of the population just don’t think things are so bad – the economy, whatever. They make decisions on how things are at the moment, on the economy of the moment. And to them things obviously are ok. The government is ok. That sounds like that may be true. And it sadly shows just how totally lost the majority is.
It is not a pretty picture. It is not a hopeful picture for all those we know who are in that majority group. But it is the way it is. It is the truth.
We believers somehow must come to grips with the reality of what is happening and coming. We know where we are in God’s time. We know his plans. We know. It is just all so unpleasant looking at the world and wondering how to fix things that have gone so awry.
As I have written several times recently, we surely must represent Jesus in all the opportunities that come before us, all the encounters God arranges for us. We must be guided by the Holy Spirit in this. And thus we will be helping in God’s drawing people to Jesus.
We also must acknowledge the Lord before men. We can’t just stand by and watch him be trashed by ungodly beings who don’t know what they are talking about. But in stepping out at any time, we must always be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Jesus did say that if we acknowledge him before men, he will acknowledge us before God the Father in Heaven. But the reverse is also true. He said if we deny him before men he will deny us before God the Father in Heaven.
Tough, unpleasant, severe times. Keep your eyes on Jesus and live as he would have you live. Fulfill all he has called you to, which of course includes whatever you may have heard directly from him as well as what he said to his believers in scripture.
