Jesus is coming back on May 21, 2011 – ARE YOU READY? - Not Finished Yet - I Am a Work In Progress

ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS?

It was September 5, 2009 when a friend of ours Jonathan and his lovely family were enjoying the last days of summer having a family time beside the lake. He and his son had a swimming test – who is going to reach the deck first? After few meters of swimming – his heart stopped, he drowned and the emergency crew and hospital staff were unable to save his life. Cause of death - Massive heart attack. He just turned 50 two weeks earlier. A healthy Godly man, who was a runner, who loved his family – he didn’t had three days to prepare – God called his name and he went home to meet his Father.

May 13, 2011 a different setting … a group of youth decided to have a youth day in nature, play games, sing songs and just be together. It’s a Christian youth gathering. The boys made the teams and are ready to play some soccer. Ten minutes into the game and Szabolcs suddenly collapses. He is 28, father of a two years old son and an unborn baby, youth leader of their church youth group. Ambulance came, but it was too late. Cause of death – Massive stroke attack. He didn’t had three days to get ready, to say good bye – he was serving God, playing with youth, prepared to share God’s words with those kids – God called his name.

It’s NOT about future rapture dates … it’s your present. ARE YOU READY NOW? It’s mind blowing to me that people get so crazy about the rapture and start to panic, while they live daily as the rapture would be the only way to meet Jesus. You don’t know when and how will he call your name.

Before you were born, your days were numbered – each and every one of them. My little daughter was a gift to us for only nine month. She never breathes the air of this world, yet she accomplished her purpose and God called her name, before I could call her name. God loaned her for nine months to change us, transform us and made me realize that I should never worry about the future, but take every moment as a gift and use it for His glory.

We don’t have to be ready for the rapture; we have to be ready to meet Jesus however he might choose to meet us.

We live in a busy world which is spinning around us like crazy and we miss the gift of life, the gift of each day because we chase dreams. We live either in the past and its guilt or the future with its potential dreams.

Every morning brings you a new opportunity to life, but at the same time every day could be your last day. Do you ever get that? People don’t just jump out of bed thinking: well today might be my last day - I wonder if we would – how we would treat others?

So please don’t start panicking about the rapture, about the judgment day – you better ask yourself: Do you know Jesus? Does he know you? Is your name written in the book of life? If your answer to these questions are yes, then it just doesn’t matter if it’s May 21, 2011 or the day before or after, because you will be excited to meet him. If you’re not sure about your relationship with Jesus, then please talk to me. Send me an email, comment I would love to talk to you.

On the left side of this website there are 5 menu titles: God’s Desire, Our Problem, God’s Solution, Our Response and Receive Christ. If you click on them they will open and there is a prayer if you would like to accept God in your life. If you already accepted God in your heart, but have questions please share.

Looking forward to hear from you. Share your thoughts and what you think about the judgment day being on May 21, 2011. I will finish with my first question: What is your first thought, emotion when you think to the possibility that Jesus might come back in few days?

God’s Desire: God desires a personal relationship with us. Understand that God wants to give you a life filed with joy and peace. God wants us to have a life not just to make it through but an abundant and eternal life because he loves you.

"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." ~ John 10:10

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" ~ Romans 5:1

But to giving you abundant life required the supreme sacrifice:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" ~ John 3:16

What a wonderful gift the Father has given. If God gave His own Son to provide an abundant and everlasting life, why more people don’t have what He has designed for us to receive?
Our Problem: We were created in God’s image for an abundant and joyful life with the ability and need to know God and have a personal relationship with Him. But our freedom of choice of disobedience caused a separation and gap between God and us.

"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear" ~ Isaiah 59:2

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ~ Romans 3:23

People always try to fill that empty void in their lives with "things." They even try good works, morality, and religion. Yet they remain empty, for only God, through His Son, can fill that emptiness.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death” ~ Proverbs 14:12

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." ~ Romans 6:23

Our Problem is that sin separated us from God. But

God provided only ONE SOLUTION
God’s Solution: God has provided only one solution to sin and separation from Himself.

Jesus Christ, His Son, is the only way to God.

Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sin and rebellion against God and bridged the gap between God and humanity by dying on the cross, shedding His blood, and rising from the dead to justify and reconcile you back to God the Father.

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." ~ 1Peter 3:18

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ~ Romans 5:8

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." ~ Ephesians 2:8,9

"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" ~ 1Timothy 2:5

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. “~ John 14:6

God so loved us that he gave his only Son to bridge the gap between us and the Father. God has provided the only way, the only solution. You have to take a decision and choose how to respond to God’s provision.
Our Response: Your relationship with God can be restored and you can be brought back into his family by trusting in Christ alone who can save your life from destruction. Jesus is the bridge to the Father but you have to choose to trust him, you have to make a step forward him, you have to step out in faith and give your life to God. At the Cross you can exchange your worst for Jesus’ best.

This step happens by asking Jesus Christ to take away your sin and to come into your heart to be your Lord and Savior.

The Bible says...
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." ~ Romans 10:9

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." ~ John 1:12

"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 him, and he with me." ~ Revelation 3:20

Would you like to invite Jesus to be part of your life, to be your Lord and Savior now? You can start a new life with him. It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from, what you did in the past. When you give your life to Jesus you can start all over again. With Jesus you can have a new chance again.
Receive Christ: If you too need Jesus to give you a new start, if you realized that Jesus is all you need then here is how you can receive Christ:

Admit your need (I am a sinner).
Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)

At this moment you can pray the most important prayer of your life by simply saying:

Dear Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe you died for me on the cross and shed Your blood for my salvation. I believe you rose from the dead and ascended in Heaven. I believe You are coming back again to earth. Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. Forgive my sins. Cleanse me now with Your precious blood. I want to turn from sins. I invite you to come into my heart. I give you my life now. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. I receive You now as my Savior, my Lord, and my God. I am Yours forever, I belong to You only. I no longer belong to this world, nor to the enemy of my soul. Amen!

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, confessed your sins, and received Jesus Christ into your heart, God has given you the right to become His child.

The Bible gives you this assurance:
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” ~ Romans 10:13

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." ~ Ephesians 2:8,9

This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. If you have just received Jesus Christ into your life, we want to rejoice with you. Click here to send us your salvation praise report.
