The Truth Is

Everybody got spooked last night because of the SC earthquake. Truth is it was small compared to the one that hit in Virginia a couple of years ago. Very little was said about it around here, but so many around here let the snow and the earthquake shake them up real bad (no pun intended). Many have tried to use it in relationship to Jesus' last days warning in Matthew 24 and they could be right, but if you know Jesus it shouldn't really matter. If you know the truth then who cares?

Jesus said to all who are searching, "Seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you." In Matthew 7:7. 

If you knock on the door looking for truth and Jesus opens it, what will you do? Will you go in to Him or will you turn and walk away? If you turn away, where will you go? Throughout the ages, in all creation, there is no other truth but Him. Jesus declared it in John 14:6, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me."

Most would like a truth that makes no demands. Yet you know that in the long run it will be much harder to find out that you have lived a lie all your life than to accept, right now, the simple demands that Jesus makes. Remember, He is compassionate. Patient. Willing to forgive. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Unusual weather and an earthquake might scare you, maybe even get you to think, but the truth is Jesus is still the only way. If you know these other events have no hold on you.
