It Could Be Today!
"Watch therefore, for you know neither the day
nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
Matthew 25: 13
A few years ago, a Mississippi woman
entered the hospital to give birth to triplets.
After the three children were delivered, she was shocked to
hear the doctor say, “More feet!” A fourth identical child, who
had been missed by the ultrasounds, made a surprising
appearance.
In the days of Herod the Great, few people expected the birth
of the Messiah. The rabbis had misread the ultrasound charts
of Old Testament prophecy. But Jesus arrived exactly at the
right moment, in the fullness of time.
In our day, few people are expecting the imminent return of Christ.
But every sunrise is a reminder of His coming return. J. D. Greear
recalls growing up in church where Pastor would end each service
by saying, “Maranatha,” meaning, “The Lord is coming.”
The congregation would respond, “And it could be today.”
Greear said, “We could use some of that attitude. This may
be our last chance, to share the Gospel, to forgive, to repent.”
"Christ could come at any moment. I believe that with all
my heart, not because of what I read in the newspapers,
but because of what I read in Scripture."
John F. MacArthur
