Good morning. For the
coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. They were carrying
on like usual until the day Noah enter the ark. That's because they did not
understand until the flood came and took them all away. Can you blame them?
There had never been anything like that before. If they saw the ark, I'm sure
they made fun of Noah. I don't know how far away the nearest water was. Even if
it were close by and they had built boats before, the boats would not have been
anywhere nearly as big as the ark was. So shall the coming of the Son of Man
be. Why wouldn't it be the same? It is absurd to think anything like what is
described about the tribulation will happen. Why should they change their way
of living? Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord
is coming. For the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He
will. Of course there have been various groups that believed they knew which
day Jesus was returning. Jesus then tells a parable about a faithful slave whom
his master puts in charge of his household. If he does what his master told him
to, he is blessed. But if he thinks his master is not coming for a long time
and does bad things to his fellow slaves, his master will come at an hour he is
not expecting him to. His master will cut him in pieces and assign him a place
with the hypocrites. Believers need to be careful about what they do also. We
should behave like He could come at any moment and catch us doing something we
shouldn't (of course we should be doing it because we want to). We should keep
doing what His word says, even if it seems like He is not going to come during
our lifetime. Father thank You that the reader walks according to Your Word
because he/she wants to, not because he/she is afraid You will catch him/her
doing something wrong.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
