The Last Day
This is the last day of 2020, and I am amazed at the grace and longsuffering patience and grace of God. Yes, He is still waiting for sinners to trust Him and enter into eternal blessing.
When the Lord Jesus was here on earth He gave a personal appeal and invitation on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles.“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink” (John 7:37).
Before He went to the cross, He gave a warning as to a time of judgment for those who rejected Him.“He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).
Paul and Peter give us the character of the last days just before the return of the Lord Jesus.“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come” (2 Timothy 3:1). “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts” (2 Peter 3:3).
The appeal and the warning still stand, and we certainly have to admit that we are in the last days of this Christian era. Perhaps the Lord will come before we wake up to 2021.
