World events depict a world
of great unrest and turmoil. When we
read about the events that will culminate with the return of our Lord, we see a
world racked by war, famine, disease and death.
When the Lord returns, He will restore not only the nation, but bring
healing to the nations. The prophet
Ezekiel foresaw destruction and judgment to Israel and the nations. He now foresees restoration, hope and
healing. In Christ, we have the promise
of forgiveness and justification as well as restoration and healing. Many people are hurting and suffering around
the world and in need of Jesus Christ.
In the coming days we need to stay focused and rest upon the promises of
God which are found in Jesus Christ. We
need to stay active in our service and ministry of the Gospel through our
witness and participation in missions both local and around the world. It is important as we look at where we’ve
been to not get distracted from where we need to be going in our service to
Jesus.
Verses of the Week:
In the midst
of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of
life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month:
and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall
be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his
servants shall serve him:
Revelation 22:2-3
