Sunday's Sermon

Just two clarifications:

1. In case you lost the forest for all the trees, if you boil it all down, Matt 24 is saying: Jesus gave a very detailed prophecy of an extremely unlikely event 40 years in the future (like me forecasting the destruction of Washington D.C. in the lifetime of many here, and saying that not one stone of the capitol building will be left on another, and it happens in 2050), and that event was the judgment of Israel for rejecting their Messiah. Then He says His Return will be some unknown time after that, but be ready, alert and hopeful, because just as surely as Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, so He WILL COME AGAIN! If you still are putting Jesus off, that is a warning; if you love Him, that is a promise.

So we DID have the lasanga Sunday evening. He did not come at 2pm. But He WILL come, and it could be any time. So cast aside your small ambitions that are tied to this world, and live for eternity. Live so that at His coming you have no regrets (well at least not major ones!).

2. Concenring the illustration from the movie, "Under Seige". It was brought to my attention after Sunday that there is a sleazy scene in that movie, which I either did not see, or totally forgot. In any case, while the scene I reported makes a vivid point, I cannot recommend the movie for viewing.

SO live this week in the light of His Coming.
