Will we be “accounted worthy”?
Have we become complacent in watching the skies for the coming of our
savior? Have we allowed the “anxieties of life” to take our focus away
from the imminent expectation of His return? On that glorious day, will
we be “accounted worthy” to stand before the Son of Man? Or are we
like the Church in Laodicea, neither cold nor hot? And because we are
lukewarm, we're snared in Satan’s trap, likely to be spit out of the
Lord’s mouth? Or are we Hot and Victorious and will be found worthy to
sit with Jesus on the throne?
Let’s make Jesus Lord of All and foul the trap that has been set for our
souls!
Luke 21:34
“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing,
drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you
suddenly like a trap.“ “For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man.”
Revelations 3:14
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold
nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are
lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and
naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can
become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful
nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with
me.
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my
throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his
throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.”
