Today, all around the world, people who are "old enough" will be asking each other --- "Where were you ..... when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated?"
It's been 50 years ago -- today -- when in Dallas, Texas, our President's life was snatched from him in just a few moments, as he rode in an open car through the streets of Dallas, Texas.
For me, I was between classes in the 7th Grade at Mowat Junior High School, in Panama City, FL, when the announcement was made over the PA system that our President had died. To say the least -- school stopped that day for all of us..... I'll always remember later walking to the bus and viewing the American flag at half-mast.
Where were you?
Where were you on September 11, 2001?
It seemed like a dream -- a real nightmare, as we watched on TV the second plane fly into the Twin Towers in New York City.
The world changed forever that day! We will never be the same! Even though it's now been years ago, I remember that I personally was in the process of moving out of an apartment in Panama City (just blocks away from that same school, where I was in 1963) -- The one thing that we had not yet removed was my TV -- we ran and turned it on, after someone in the parking lot urged us to do so. What did I see -- the TV images of that second plane.
Where were you?
Where WILL you be, when suddenly Jesus Christ appears in the clouds of heaven, as HE returns to rule and reign on this earth?
No, it hasn't happened yet --- BUT it WILL happen, and I believe it is sooner than most people think.
The Bible tells us that no one knows when -- so I'm not here to predict -- just to give you some good advice --- GET READY!
What is required to be ready? I think it is as easy as ABC.
A -- believe that ALL have sinned, and need a Savior.
B - BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who came to earth, died on a cross to save us, and arose from the dead on the third day, and is seated at God's right hand making intercession (praying) for us.
C - CONFESS that Jesus Christ is LORD, and receive HIM as the LORD (the one in charge) of your life. CONFESS your need of HIM as your Savior, and let HIM be your LORD.
ARE YOU READY, NOW?
Let me ask you one more time:
WHERE WILL YOU BE WHEN JESUS RETURNS??
