Tragedies

We’ve faced some tragedies recently, haven’t we?  Covid changed our world! We experienced being quarantined, illness, loneliness, changing friendships, churches changing, food shortages, and skyrocketing gas prices—all while our 401K shrunk.  

Our world changed overnight. We changed. People began experiencing anxiety and depression. Counselors’ schedules were full. We began trying to make sense of all that was happening…because we were shaken. 

I believe Jesus is coming back very soon and will take all of those who have accepted him as their savior—and committed their lives to following him—to heaven. Those who haven’t chosen to follow him will be left behind.  

Here’s what I know. If you were shaken these past two years because of Covid and its effects, you will definitely be overwhelmed after millions of people are missing. One tragedy after another will take place. The establishment of the Antichrist, lawlessness, people killing one another, worldwide earthquakes, 1/4 of the people on earth killed by famines and plagues. Things will keep coming. You won’t have time to recover from one tragedy before another hits! If you never choose to follow Jesus, you will spend an eternity in hell with perpetual trauma and isolation. 

There is a solution: give your life to Jesus now. Admit your sin and ask his forgiveness. Follow him! Give up control and give him control of your life. Make him the boss of your life. And get in the Word—the Bible!!  You won’t grow or change unless you do. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you. He will. 

Your life doesn’t have to be controlled by tragedy.  Trust Jesus—and let him have complete control of your life. His ways are higher (and better) than our ways!
