Dear Reader
“Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20).
We have now entered a New Year, and the question in everyone’s mind, if not on his lips, is: “What will this year bring?”
It is not without reason that such a question arises, for the last few years have been filled with startling events. Never before in the history of the world have things moved with such lightning speed. In the past decade, we have witnessed changes that we might have expected would take centuries to develop.
Man’s inventions and cries for speed and more speed have brought all the inhabitants of the world closer together. There are almost no “remote” parts of the world left. Backward and hitherto unimportant people have suddenly become important. Jungles have proven to be anything but “impenetrable barriers,” and wide oceans now afford little protection and comfort. People may well declare, “What is next?” and “Where is all this leading?”
In the light of the Word of God, we can speak with real assurance. All these rapidly developing changes are leading to certain definite happenings of more than major importance.
Present strides are as but signposts pointing ahead. Events more astounding than anything yet seen are coming. Incidents without precedent are in store for this world, and there is nothing that man can do to stop them.
There is one sure and certain great event that is coming soon—very soon. The Lord Jesus is coming! He will give that shout in the air that will call all who are sheltered by His precious blood to meet Him in the clouds and accompany Him to the Father’s House, to be forever with and like Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 John 3:2).
May He grant us grace to walk in the enjoyment of His love, trusting in Him for every need and for every step of the way in 2025, redeeming the time, for the days are evil
So, while we thus wait, may we live for Him, serve Him more faithfully, and demonstrate Christ in our lives before others. He is worthy of all we have and are.
