Msg #1309 He's Coming Soon, There's No Doubt
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Events in our progressively liberal nation make Christians yearn for
the second coming of Christ and the Kingdom's victory over secular
atheism which unites with Rome and Mecca to war against right and
Israel. Jesus said it would be like it was for Sodom and Gomorrah.
That was unimaginable 50 years ago. When Jesus saw his disciples
thinking that the Kingdom should immediately appear, he gave the
parable of the noblemen gone into a far country to receive for himself
a kingdom and to return. Therein he teaches us to “Occupy until he
comes.” He teaches us that the citizens of this world will not have
him to reign over them, despising his return. Lastly he teaches us
that we have resource from him and are to use it all for our Lord, our
Master and our coming King. The pound given to each servant in this
parable is different from the talent in a previous parable. Here each
of ten servants get one pound and are expected to show a gain in a day
of reckoning. The amount of reward they receive in that day depends on
how resourcefully they used the pound. For the servant there is coming
a day of reckoning “For I say unto you, That unto every one which
hath shall be given, and from him that hath not, even that he hath
shall be taken away from him.” “Occupy until I come” Jesus said.
For those who would not have Jesus Christ to reign over them, citizens
of this world who are not citizens of His Kingdom, He must say
“Bring them hither and slay them before me.” Be ye ready, for in
such an hour as ye think not the Son of God is returning as King of
kings and Lord of lords.
