THE BIG DAY

Today is "The BIG Day!" TODAY America will put the next President into the White House, after millions of dollars have been raised and spent, of course. After all of the campaigning, the promises, the "prophetic claims" of what would happen if "the other guy" was voted in, and the enormous amount of HYPE, it all comes down to TODAY!

But I got to thinking last night about the significance of today's decision and thought to myself, what if we took our Eternity as seriously as we have taken this Election! What if we were as passionate about where our soul will spend Eternity as we are about who goes into the White House.

There is a day coming that is way bigger than TODAY! There is a day coming when who was elected will not matter. "The BIG Day" I'm referring to is the day that Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords returns for His Church. So, my question to you TODAY is simply, are you READY?

If Jesus returned TODAY would you be ready? If all of a sudden the media broke from their Election coverage to report a strange occurrence of people everywhere disappearing, would you be one of those who disappeared or would you be catching the news as it happened? Have you been "Born Again?" (John 3:1-5) Have you "repented of your sins, been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost?" (Acts 2:38) Have you "received the Holy Ghost since you believed?" (Acts 19:2) Are you living "righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2:12-14)

The Bible warns us to be READY "for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh." (Matthew 24:44) (Matthew 25:13) says, "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

"The BIG Day" I'm talking about is going to come, and I just wonder what it would be like if we were as concerned about THAT DAY as we are about THIS DAY! Contrary to how some people are acting these days, there is an event on the horizon that will be BIGGER than any Election, and that event is the day our Eternity begins!

Think about it. What's really more important? Whether you're a Republican or Democrat OR where you'll spend your Eternity: Heaven or Hell?

Just a thought.
