Endure to the end!

Matthew 24: 13 (NKJV)

“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”

Jesus was offering a warning to the church, as it had to do with the end of the church age.

His concern was that the church would eventually be lulled to sleep.

That appears to be happening during this modern day.

When I’m asleep, I’m convinced I’m not paying much attention to anything.

I may have a few crazy dreams, but I’m for the most part not cognizant of anything going on around me.

This is what Jesus said would happen to the church in the last days.

Not that we’d be literally asleep, but most people would be so clueless to the things around them.

The church will become insensitive to it’s personal relationship to their Savior.

It will also become increasingly insensitive to the churches responsibilities.

Again, call me a skeptic, but that also appears to be happening to the church.

The pressures of this crazy world seem to be closing in on all of us.

When that happens, all we can think about is survival, and our individual needs.

Many people of the faith today, are just rolling over and falling asleep, because the weight is just too much carry.

Some Christians in an apathetic way, would just as soon that Jesus would come back and get it over with.

That’s a selfish assessment, because the church has a major responsibility—especially in the last days. (See Matthew 28: 19)

Jesus said that the person who stays awake, and doesn’t fall asleep, will endure and be saved.

I’m pretty sure He also said something about the foolish sleeping virgins too…
