Now

In memory of Leo Ramos
"NOW" <-- All of eternity past and future is in that one word. 

It truly is the only time God has given us. We cannot go back to the past, we cannot travel to the future, nor are we guaranteed another second of breath. We only have this moment. 

"For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, Now is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation." ~2 Corinthians 6:2

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near..." ~Isaiah 55:6

The time to call upon Jesus, is Now.

Signs of the Times

In memory of Leo Ramos
Since mankind did not recognize the first coming of Jesus the Christ, will mankind recognize Jesus' Second Coming? Surprisingly, Yes!

Due to lack of paying attention to the signs, many people will not see the Day of the Lord approaching, but, everyone will see the Lord's return to the Earth. "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." ~Mark 13:26

Jesus compares discernment of weather (looking at the signs in the sky to tell future weather) with spiritual discernment. He compares the natural realm to the spiritual realm. In both realms, God warns us about the future. Not everyone pays attention to the weather, nor weather forecasts; many people are caught off guard and without their umbrellas when it rains. Not everyone pays attention to spiritual signs. In both cases, undiscerning people are unprepared for what transpires.

Jesus said also to the people, "When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?" ~Luke 12:54

"This time," refers to when God in the flesh (Jesus) walked among men. Here are the outward SIGNS of the Lord's first coming:

Healing Lepers!

"When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red."
~Matthew 16:2

"Ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" ~Jesus

"Evening Prayers"

"The busy day of life is over. Its pleasures, its duties, and its anxieties have passed away. The sunshine and the shade, which alternately marked its path, have disappeared; and the soft tints of evening gather over the sky. The evening of life! Yes. Life has a sunset hour, a twilight season. The eye dim, the silver lock, the feeble step — reveal the closing of earthly existence has arrived. How rapid is the flight of time. How near the approaching of eternity!"
