LAST WORD

By Rick Mathes

Matthew 28:18-20 (NASB77) ¹⁸ And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ” All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  ¹⁹ ” Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,  ²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew ended his gospel with the final thoughts he wanted the readers to note and do something about. Our Lord’s last words here have more the weight of pure gold. It’s my understanding and the teaching of the word is to be a Christian is to be Christ-like.

Christians are being persecuted in every quarter of the world More have been killed for their faith in my lifetime than from my birthdate back to the Cross! Satan has accelerated his attack at an unprecedented pace and the only thing that will save us is the fearless preaching of ministers that are totally consecrated to Him and pursuing holiness with all that is within him.

What must oe do I these perilous times to keep the faith, fight the good fight and finish the race? How can we as mortals take a tan against Lucifer and his fallen angels?

It takes spiritual testosterone and fearless preaching! I am so ashamed of the so called ordained that are feminine wimps. How can we fight against the Caesars of thie secular war when the pulpits are silent on abortion, homosexuality, immorality, alcohol & drug abuse, child molestaing, etc. I am aghast  at the horror show I see on our local news each night of murders, sodomy, terrorists, war, starvation, plagues, and wht do you hear from our Lord’s professing ambassadors on the altars across our lands; nothing but baby food, cute jokes & illustrations but mostly just entertainment. A cross we must carry to save our civilization is a persecution of our faith. The revolution with the Sword of the Word must rage now or the America our forefathers founded will be D.O.A.

The solution for you and I is to put Jesus first, follow Him and deny self. Reformed faith and revival of primitive Christians hinges on what eachof us does about Jesus. Your family and mine ae the building blocks of the Christian society Satan is hell-bound on destroying. We know the end result; we win but we must get into the battle as the Lord last word commands us!
