Topic - The Escape Route
Text: Matthew 11:20-30 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest“ (Matthew 11:28).
MESSAGE:
Practical experiences during childhood reveals that, it isn’t all the
threats or lies aimed at creating fear in the child that are real. Most
times, an inquisitive child soon discovers that nothing like the
foretold consequences happens. This often emboldens him/her to flout
other instructions believing that there would be no serious adverse
consequence after all.
This same scenario, no doubt, plays itself out in the attitude of
most people concerning the stern warning of Christ to the religious,
carefree and impenitent of the dire consequences of their sinful
lifestyle. We need to understand that God is not a man. His words will
ever be true and He has appointed a day for judgment of evil men and
women. Many justify their rebellion against God on the grounds that many
church leaders and religious people commit sin without any consequence.
The Scripture describes the unfortunate condition thus: “Because
sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the
heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil” (Ecclesiastes
8:11). It should, however, be noted that no sinner will go unpunished,
because on the judgment day, God will not be swayed by money, emotion or
any other factor.
The sure way of escape is repentance and faith in Christ as revealed
through the solemn invitation in our text. Those who reject the
invitation of Christ to repentance today will one day face the sordid
reality of judgment in hell. Be wise to repent by acknowledging,
confessing and forsaking your sins so that heaven can rejoice over you
too. Pray for pardon.
Thought For The Day: The wheel of God’s judgment may drive slowly, but it is imminent.
Bible Reading In One Year: Matthew 14; Mark 6; Luke 9
