Joel 3:14 (tap to view)
Today’s verse is a reminder that soon, our God will return to judge all those arrayed against Him. His first coming was to ‘Seek and to Save that which was lost.’ Jesus did not come to condemn the first time, but to offer the only way of salvation. He left His Church to continue the work of bringing folks the good news of Salvation in Christ and to extend the olive branch of peace. The world as a whole rejects Christ, and His Churches. They Seek to silence and persecute all of His ambassadors as ‘haters’ and His peace emissaries, as ‘violent.’ One day soon they will all gather together in rebellion to Him and will summarily be judged and punished for their rejection of His love and the peace He went to such extravagant lengths to offer.
So if you haven’t accepted His offer of peace through Jesus, won’t you please do so today? Everyday He delays His return, is a day more that the offer of peace has been extended. Don’t delay.
If you have accepted His offer of peace and adoption as Son’s, then busy yourself in sharing the good news that there is still time and opportunity to be saved Today!
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”
2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 KJV
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:20 KJV
