There Is Still Time

Luke 12:56-57

"Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; 

but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Yea, and 

why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?" 

   When the Jews saw the clouds forming in the west, over the Mediterranean Sea, they knew rain was on the way. When the south wind blew from the desert they knew strong wind was coming. But those who were so wise to read the signs of the sky could not, or would not, read the signs of the times. If they had, they would have seen that the kingdom of God was on the way. Jesus used a very vivid illustration. He said, "When you are threatened with a law-suit, come to an agreement with your adversary before the matter comes to court, for if you do not you will have imprisonment to endure and a fine to pay." The assumption is that the defendant has a bad case which will inevitably go against him. "Every man," Jesus implied, "has a bad case in the presence of God; and if he is wise, he will make his peace with God while yet there is time."
   My Friends, Jesus and all his great servants have always been obsessed with the urgency of time. There are some things a man cannot afford to put off; above all, making his peace with God. "Now Is The Time; Make Peace With God." 

Amen!
