September 23, 2024 Monday Message:
Matthew 28:20b NLT, the resurrected Jesus speaking: “Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Our Lord promised, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Jesus, who also said, “I and the Father are one,” confirmed God’s commitment. If believers are loyal to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – he will be with them until the end. And he will carry believers into the next age’s reality!
When is the “end?” Only God knows for sure. He has given us signs to watch for, and day by day we seem to be drawing nearer. The end of the age is closer than it’s ever been!
When Jesus came to earth 2,000 years ago, it was the beginning of a new chapter in mankind’s relationship with God. The Old Covenant was updated with a new one. Rather than trying to “earn” our way into heaven, life after this life was now a gift based on our faith in the Son. Forgiveness and reconciliation became a permanent part of the new plan.
The next arrival of Jesus will begin another new chapter in God’s plan for the earth and for mankind. It will be an exciting time! Watch for it! Wait for it, patiently!
