Time Will Tell the Story

In response to a great deal of strong and negative feelings about God and about Christianity, I felt it necessary to remind us that as disciples of Christ, we WILL suffer persecution. No question about it. We live in a world that is anti-God, anti-Christ and anti-Christian. And if Jesus Himself suffered at the hands of His persecutors, so will we (cf. John 15:20; 17:14; II Tim. 3:12).

Nevertheless, I have good news. And this news is the very reason I refuse to argue with bullying skeptics about matters concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, His Word and His people. The good news is this: Time Will Tell the Story. No matter how much skeptics argue against the historicity and reliability of the Bible, there is ONE thing they ALL cannot escape - DEATH. 

I had the not so distinct pleasure of reading rants against God (i.e. He is not real, no such thing, so on and so on) this afternoon through comments made in response to a judicial ruling against a Christian bakery. There were also vicious attacks against Christians. But disciples of the Lord, hold on to our hope. The Bible promises that Jesus will vanquish all of His enemies. They can argue until they're blue in the face about Jesus being a farce, but once again, there is ONE thing they ALL cannot escape - DEATH. 

So, instead of us arguing and trying to convince people who seem to be already convinced, why not just wait? Time Will Tell the Story. Every person will take his or her last breath ONE day. And on that day, each and every person will learn whether God is real or not. 

Time Will Tell the Story.....so be encouraged and keep serving our Master. 

Blessings.
