3. November 2009 by Chris Wyatt.
A couple of weeks ago, as I was preparing to come to church, there was frost on my windshield. It wasn’t really a surprise, I had noticed earlier in the week that there was frost on the roofs when I was walking the dog. We knew it was coming, but the fact of scraping the windshield brought home the reality that summer is over, we are well into fall, and winter is just around the corner. Though I like the summer better than the winter, I do enjoy the change of seasons, and certainly each one has its unique beauty, but as I pondered the changing seasons, I was reminded of Jeremiah 8:20. “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.”
Today is the day of God’s grace, the opportunity to be saved. II Corinthians 6:2 reminds us that now the day of salvation. We know from the Bible that God will judge the world one day - that day is coming, just like winter is coming. As we look in the Bible, we see that the day is drawing closer and He has given us many signs to indicate that. Like the frost on the window, we need to heed those signs and if we haven’t already done so, we need to choose Jesus Christ today, while there is time.
Jesus Christ has provided a complete salvation, He took upon Himself the judgement we deserved, so that we could enjoy the peace of God for all eternity in Heaven. Have you accepted Him as YOUR Saviour? If not, trust Him today - don’t let the sad words of Jeremiah 8:20 be yours. If you do know Him, rejoice that you know Him, then be busy telling others of His wonderful salvation while there is opportunity to do so.
