Just One Day Too Late
I never thought I'd see the day, when you came to kneel and pray I never thought that I would see, the church-house filled to capacity and outside the door there's more, who have never come before Oh what a shame that Jesus came, one day before. And you came one day too late, yes, just one day too late Jesus came and you've been left behind, you will be left behind Yesterday you couldn't find time for Jesus on your mind You finally came to call His name, one day too late. You tried to live the best you could, you tried to do the things you should But when it came to serving God, you said, "I still have time to wait" Now it's all turned around, time for Jesus now you've found How sad to think that you found the time, but one day too late. Chris Perver - http://www.evenmore .co.uk/prophecy/ 2007.html Who will make up this large capacity crowd overfilling the churches of the world the day after Jesus the Christ snatched away His bride to take her to His Father's house? Will it be our mothers and fathers? Will it be our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters? Will it be our neighbors and co-workers?  What will be the state of mind these people will have? Will there be great fear when they realize what has happened? Many will become depressed and despondent. There may even be many who cannot accept the truth and maybe some who will commit suicide because they knew the truth but refused to believe. And there will probably be some who will become enraged that all their good deeds have not been rewarded. Will the truth finally sink in that salvation is by the grace of God and not by works of the flesh? No one can earn their way into heaven. God never meant for anyone to earn their way, that's why He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to pay for our sins. It is God's free gift to His creation so there could not be any one who could say they were not given an equal opportunity to spend eternity with Him. It doesn't matter how rich or how poor you are, how intelligent, how lovely, tall or short, fat or thin, all one has to do is look around and see all the things God has made; all the things He has done to make Himself seen in His creation (Romans 1:20) and by faith believe that He is and know that He is a rewarder (Hebrews 11:6) of those who believe in Him.  The above poem does not paint a very pretty picture but it does paint a very accurate picture of a day that is coming very soon to this planet. I hope this is not a picture you can live with. I hope this picture makes you want to fall on your knees and pray for everyone you know, for God to touch their hearts before it is too late and they find themselves "just one day too late!" I hope this picture makes each of us see that today is the day of salvation and We are the ones Christ commanded to go and preach the Gospel, (Matthew 28:19) the good news, the ones He told to "OCCUPY until He returns" not "occupy when He returns". (Luke 19)  We have God's word today that He left for us in the Bible. All the lessons are in it that He wanted us to know. There are over three hundred prophecies of the coming of Christ that were fulfilled in the Old Testament when Christ came into the world and died for our sins. All the prophecies of His return for His bride, the Church, have been fulfilled. We know God has never failed to keep His promises. As this world spirals down into sin and evil, I believe all who live with the gift of the Holy Spirit know our time is running out and His return is imminent.  We have only one thing left to do while we are still on this earth - we must love everyone enough to tell them the "Good News" that Jesus has paid for their sins; "it is finished" (John 19:30) there is nothing left to do but believe and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord; (Romans 10:9) repent and turn away from evil and He will remove our sins as far as the east is from the west. (Psalm 103:12) John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 14:6 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  In writing this I have developed a picture in my head of the scene that will take place around the world when Jesus comes in the clouds to rapture His church, and frankly I am ashamed of not doing more to spread the "Good News." Yes I know people who scoff and ridicule Christianity and even deny there is a God of creation. Yes, I even have family members who refuse to believe, even some who have a form of Godliness but not the power, who like many believe "good works" is all they need. Some are wonderful loving people but still live without the Holy Spirit.  I put this challenge out today, search your heart and don't lay your head on a pillow tonight without asking Jesus to come into your heart and become the Lord of your life, then repent of your sinful ways, confess Him with your mouth and then you will know that the day after He comes you will not be left behind.
