The end of the world is a popular
movie theme. Even Christian movie makers
are coming out with a new “Left Behind” movie about end time events. Well, the Bible has something to say about
the end of the world.
In 1 Peter 4:7-11 (NLT), it says, “The
end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in
your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each
other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Cheerfully share
your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. 10 God has
given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them
well to serve one another. 11 Do you have the gift of
speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you
have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that
God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus
Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.”
In light of the possibility of the
end of the world, we should do three things: 1) We should Pray Earnestly; 2) We
should Love Deeply; 3) We should Serve One Another!
Are you disciplined in your prayer
life or are you careless? Christians
often say, “Prayer changes things!” But
how many of pray with consistency. Take
time to pray!
Love is arguably the most powerful
force in the universe. We are commanded to show “deep” love for each other. The
Scripture says to “show” love, not just say it. Actions speak louder than
words! Don’t be ashamed; show the people you care about how much you love them.
Finally, the command is serve one
another. Jesus said in another place that if you want to be great in God’s
kingdom that you had to learn to be a servant of all. Even the best leaders are
good servants. Learn to humbly serve others.
In light of eternity, pray, love and
serve!
God bless!
