 Are You Ready?The Passover pictures and calls us to remember many things, redemption from the bondage of slavery, the sacrifice of the lamb of God [Jesus Christ] as the payment of the death penalty we earned through our sin. Self-examination, covenant renewal, baptism into the death of Christ... there is so much to cover at this important time of the year.There is yet another message embedded in the spring holy days which we don't often dwell upon. A message that is especially relevant to us in light of the national and global  meltdown over the COVID 19 virus. That message [which I am going cover today] is haste. In the past few weeks  we have seen life on the entire planet turned upside down. It happened very quickly. One week we were living the life of Riley, watching our retirement investments grow, planning weddings, graduation ceremonies, looking forward to the spring holy days... the next week we woke up to a world shutting down border crossings, stopping travel, ordering citizens to stay in their homes, closing businesses, schools etc.A lesson you should get from this global calamity is: to realize through experience how easily, and how quickly EVERYTHING can change. Over the years many of us have said things like "yup, things can change quickly... and we have to be prepared for that before Christ returns"... but now I think many of us  born after WW2 have seen it actually happen. The entire world can turn very quickly indeed.This present distress will most likely pass and things return "normal", although with a slightly modified sense of what defines "normal". But looking ahead there are prophesied changes coming before Christ’s return. Changes which will also come quickly... but after THESE changes there will be no return to "normal".  Jesus Christ, your lord, master, head of the church, future bridegroom... wants you to prepare now for that time.Get a Free copy of God's Holy Day Plan to learn more about the biblical festivals and their significance for followers of Jesus Christ.Keep Reading »
