You Pass This Way But Once

It is Monday morning, 14th December 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day.

If we go to the Book of Hebrews Chapter 9 and reading verses 27 and 28:

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.”

William Penn said, “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

Don’t hesitate to show Jesus’s love at every opportunity that you are given.

If you give somebody even a cup of water, it is as if you have done it for The Lord.

Matthew Chapter 10, verse 42 says:

“And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Life is too short to waste on arguments or bitterness, or to put off something important until tomorrow because you don’t even know if there will be a tomorrow.

At the back of my Bible, i have written, “Keep short accounts with men and God, for the time is now very short.” It is written underneath, Revelation Chapter 22 and verse 20:

“He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”

Give the homeless man something to eat and drink.

Love the person who is unlovely and forgive the person who wrongs you, because you pass this way but once.

Do this so that when The Lord does call you, you have no unpaid debts.

Settle your debts when you can and then get ready for home time because He is coming very soon.

You need to be ready because Jesus says, “I am coming like a thief in the night.”

We simply don’t know when He will return.

He is not going to give us any warning of His return but the one thing that we can be sure of, is that Jesus is on His way.

The surest thing on earth is that we all will die, but by the grace of God, we will live again when we meet Him in Heaven.

Have a wonderful week and God bless you.
