THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME


No man knows the day nor the hour when the son of God shall appear; but we Christians are truly looking for the day of his soon return.  Why are we looking forward to his appearing so much while others are content with remaining here on the earth?  Well, it's simple; because he is our bridegroom, and the bride of Christ; which is The Church longs to be where the he is.  You know how it is when you love someone?  You are always thinking of them; longing to see their face,  and just to hear their voice.  We have the hope that keeps us moving forward in our faith.  We know that soon and very soon we are going to see the King.  Jesus is our Lord,  he is our King, he is our brother, and he's our friend.  The bible says he is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.  O how we love the Lord.  What is there not to love?  Everyday our love for him becomes sweeter and sweeter.  That is why the word declares him sweeter than a honeycomb.

Jesus has given us salvation to the which none of us deserve.  He made himself sin, hung upon a tree and became sin for us.  This was done when we were yet a sinners; during that time we could not see or understand the depth of his love.  We never recognized him;  as the lover of our soul, and yet he died to purchase our salvation.  Oh what love!

 As the end of times becomes more emanate to his children; we definitely long to see his face.  It's no wonder we sigh; "Come Lord Jesus, come."  These words are truly meant by those who utter them; mainly because many are tired of what they see.  They world is in sheer chaos; and there is no peace to be found anywhere.  The word of God warned us that when they say peace in the world; then you can believe the opposite because sudden destruction is going to come in an instant.  You see what God is really saying is;  that Satan is a liar.  He says one thing; but is really planning  something else.  He is really planning to destroy all of mankind.  God created the world and Satan wants to destroy the world.  That is only because he knows that he is doomed to a lost and dying world.  His job is to take as many people to hell with him as possible.  Jesus came to give you an abundant life.  Life down here with Jesus can and is abundant; but heaven is the fulfillment of what God has for those who trust in him.  The word of God says;  "Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame,"  Romans 10:11   We have a home that is not made with hands; Jesus himself said if it was not so he wouldn't have told us.  Truthfully, eyes have not seen nor have ears heard what God has in store for those of us who trust in him.  That my friend is the good and expected end.  We  can expect it because he has told us what's in store for us.  Because he is our God and Lord we believe what he tells us; and because we believe what he says we do expect the things that he has clearly said.  The truth is eyes have not seen; nor have ears heard.  I mean we cannot imagine the vastness and greatness of what God has in store for us.  It's so far beyond the reach of our imagination.  Because we reflect on these things of how great heaven is going to be; we long to be there and to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He is our hope of glory.  We know that one day heaven will make all of these things we've experienced in this foreign land worth it all.

 That is why we must remain focused on the task ahead; knowing that our reward is great.  We cannot get distracted with this world; nor can we get comfortable here.  We are only pilgrims passing through.  Many people are not be spiritual minded; but have become carnal minded.  They have begun to mind the things of this world.  They have become comfortable as if this world is their home.  Many have hoarded things and have become in love with the things and the world that offers them the things.  God is not please with this and is warning us not to love the world neither the things that are in the world because he that loves the world the love of the Father is not in them.  God doesn't want us to love this world; nor what it has to offer; because he never intended for us to stay here.  He wants us to always remain prayerful and have a heaven's view.  He want's us to me on alert; always looking for the Master's return.
