Rapture - False hope of many!


Many believers are putting their hopes in the rapture. They want to be taken out of this world before the great tribulation. But these poor people do not know Jesus. Their hope is in the rapture, not in Jesus. Our hope must be in Jesus, not in some happening that will snatch us away. Jesus never promised to take us out of trouble. He said:”I will be with you in trouble.” Paul said:”Whether I live or whether I die, I belong to the Lord!” and that must be our attitude.
We must not be looking for Jesus at certain places or with people. If we do not know Jesus and He does not live inside us then we will never find Him. If we are not His sheep and we do not hear His voice then we do not belong to Him. Jesus warned us, Matthew 24:25-27:”Behold, I have told you in advance. 26if therefor they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go forth, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. 27For just as lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.”
Dear friend, don't put your hope in some happening, some occurrence. Don't run after prophets that give you a date for the rapture. Put your hope in Jesus. Follow Him every day, Jesus must be living inside of you. He must be alive in you and through you. The world must see Jesus in you, in this time of trials and tribulations. Is Jesus IN YOU? Or are you looking for some escape?
May Jesus bless you.
