Common Sense Commentary: Every positive has its opposite negative. Medication has Side Effects, Sweet & Sour, Good & Bad, Right & Wrong, Yes & No, Income & Outgo, Hot & Cold, True & False, Light & Dark, God & Satan, Heaven & Hell. Even Time has a past and a future with a thin line between the two which we call "the Present". And yet, we can only live within that thin line ... which is NOW. We can neither relive the past nor live in the future. We must live in the ever present now. All we have is
the present and the promise.
The Present is the only time a lost soul can accept Christ. It cannot be done in the Past. The Past is eternally gone and recorded in the everlasting "Books" of God. We have no assurance of the Future.
We all have only the Now. "For he (God) saith, I have heard thee in a TIME ACCEPTED, ...in THE day of Salvation ... Behold, NOW is THE ACCEPTED TIME; Behold, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION." 2Cor.6:2. The Apostle warned us, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Prov.27:1. All we truly have for certain is NOW, this very minute and The PROMISE.
The Promise of a future ... an eternal future is completely contained in the eternal Promise of our eternal God... and only there. "...Because I live, ye shall live also." Jesus said to his disciples in Jn.14:9. "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Jn.11:26. and "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou SHALT be saved...." Acts 16:31. That is his Promise and God cannot deceive, mislead, or lie. "...HOPE of eternal life, which God, which CANNOT LIE, PROMISED...." Titus 1:2.
So Who is Jesus that He has control of "Time" and "Eternity" that HE can make such a PROMISE?
Jesus was still speaking to believers when, "Behold a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him."
"Hear ye him" God said. "Hear ye him" Rayburn, Joe, Jane .... "Hear YOU him".
Who is Jesus ? Read the next blog.
Pass it on. RB
