Scripture: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” ... He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. ... “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes... They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” Luke 19:10, 12-12, 42, 44 (NIV) Application: Right now, practically the whole world has knowledge of Who Jesus is. Many have access to Bible and teachings that illustrate what Christianity is. Within that group, a good portion of people are aware that Christians believe that Jesus will return as King over the whole world. But relatively few people across the globe actually believe His message and try to live their lives as faithful followers who have given their lives to Jesus. Regardless of what opinion the world holds of Him, Jesus is still coming, and will not confine His reign to just believers. Right now, He offers peace to everyone on Earth. When He returns, He will punish everyone who rejects Him, and reward everyone who accepts Him. When this will happen, we don't know. But the consequences of our decisions toward Him won't come as a surprise. Because it is written. Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, we believe every part of Your Word. We ask for Ways to live out our belief every day so that Your kingdom is expanded and ready to receive You. We pray that the whole world will know You and accept Your offer of peace. Amen.
