How sad can the news get? I get up this morning and listen to the news, and what do I hear but another school shooting. Once again it is the innocent little children who are victimized. You have 5 children dead, and who knows how many family members who are suffering. Killing of human life. Of course the killer takes his own life so he doesn't have to stand trial for his crime. Only a coward would harm a helpless small child who just wants to be loved and cared for and to love you in return.
Pray for the family members of the victims. Who are suffering because of this cowardly act, and that need our prayers.
How could this happen? Well when sin entered into the world, our world started to decay, along with all of our morals. Now when God had finished making the world and all that was in it, it was perfect. Genesis; 1:31 ( God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.) So the human race started out without sin. The command! Genesis 2;16-17 (The Lord God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.)
[Fall Of Man]
Genesis; 3:4 ( The serpent said to the woman,"You surely will not die!) The deceiver spoke a lie to the woman. The woman believed the lie. Genesis; 3:6 (When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.) Now we have sin in the world, the beginning of decay.
Our world has been going down hill since sin entered in. Jesus came to give us hope. His sacrifice on the cross gave us a means of salvation through Him. With out Him, we were all doomed to eternal damnation. When Jesus left to go to the Father, he went to prepare a place for all the saved. John; 14:2-3 (In my Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; That where I am, there you may be also.)
[Difficult Time]
How do we know when He will come again? We don't know! But Jesus tells us what will happen in those days. 2Timothy; 3:1-4 ( But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.) I think that if you look around at our world today, you will see that we are in difficult times.
Now Gods word is true, and we need to make sure that we are ready for His second comming. How do we get ready? We need to confess our sins, and ask God to forgive our sins, and to come into our heart and give us new life in Him. He is the only way to heaven. John; 14:6 ( Jesus said to them, " I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.) That is proof that there is no other way.
I pray that you will ask Jesus into your life today, before it is to late.
God Bless You
