There is a growing conviction on the part of Christians all over the world that the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is near at hand. There is also a general feeling in the world, apart from Christianity altogether, that the world’s affairs are nearing “meltdown,” and that extraordinary events lie before us. How true are the words of the Bible: Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. (Luke 21:26²⁶Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:26).)

The fact is that this world must go from bad to worse just in proportion as the world gives up God. The only way to get right with God is through the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be known first as a Saviour.

Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. (1 Peter 3:18¹⁸For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1 Peter 3:18).) There is no other way to God.

If the Lord Jesus were to come today, would you welcome Him? Are you ready for that coming? He is coming quickly. He may come today!
