GOD'S WORD

Matthew 24:37&38
"37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"

We have entered the Season of Advent. This is the New Year in the Church calendar! In this season we want to celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Of course Jesus always was/is and then He became incarnate and was sacrificed for all OUR sins. And, someday He will RETURN. 

When will He return? We GOT to KNOW!
NO ONE knows. Only GOD the Father Knows, is Jesus's answer from the Gospel of Matthew. And, in today's verses, Jesus explains more; "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." The King James Version uses the Septuagint's spelling of Noah's name; "Noe." Jesus is saying His return will be similar to the Great Flood, it was sudden and unexpected. People were not prepared for it even though they were warned about it. The only ones saved were the few in the ark.

Generally people were going about their lives. Focusing on their day to day concerns and NOT paying attention to GOD'S word. Jesus continues; "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark," The activities Jesus mentions are NOT bad. We know from the Genesis account, that Jesus is referring to, the people were NOT concerned about the affairs of religion, the worship and glory of God, the welfare of their souls and their approaching doom! Which Noah had given them ampel warning. Does this sound like another time and place being warned of GOD'S judgment and NOT listening to GOD'S word???

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "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." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
