Too Late
April 30, 2014

Read: Hebrews 4:1-11

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. —Hebrews 4:1

Bible in a Year:
1 Kings 8-9; Luke 21:1-19

It happens nearly every semester. I tell my freshman college writing class often that they need to keep up with the numerous writing assignments in order to pass the class. But nearly every semester some don’t believe me. They’re the ones who send me frantic emails after the last day of class and give me their reasons for not taking care of business. I hate to do it, but I have to tell them, “I’m sorry. It’s too late. You have failed the class.”

That’s bad enough when you’re a college freshman and you realize you’ve just wasted a couple thousand dollars. But there is a far more serious, more permanent finality that comes at the end of life if people haven’t taken care of business with God about their sin. In those cases, if people die without having put their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, they face an eternity without Him.

What a terrible moment it would be to stand before the Savior Himself and hear Him say, “I never knew you; depart from Me!” (Matt. 7:23). The author of Hebrews warns us to make sure we don’t “come short” (4:1) of the eternal rest offered by God. The good news is that it’s not too late. Today Jesus freely offers to us salvation and forgiveness through Him.

If you’d like to know the love of God the Father,
Come to Him through Jesus Christ, His loving Son;
He’ll forgive your sins and save your soul forever,
And you’ll love forevermore this faithful One. —Felten

Calvary reveals the seriousness of our sin and the vastness of God’s love.

Insight

In today’s passage we read: “But the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it” (v.2). The word translated “mixed” means to “comingle, to unite one thing with another.” The promises of God were proclaimed, but only those who believed and acted upon the promise profited by them.

I love to take quizzes. OK, that is not exactly true. When my wife would ask me to take a compatibility quiz with her from one of the women’s magazines, I knew that no good could come from it. (“Do you know your spouse?” “What’s your marriage I.Q.?” — those kind of quizzes are trouble!)

What’s your marriage I.Q.?” — those kind of quizzes are trouble!)

80% As a former military brat, ten years in the military on my own and a job that required extensive travel ... I have been everywhere. LOL!

It's Wednesday

This survey concentrates in large cities around the globe. The survey discounts smaller cities, and doesn’t list them, hence you are considered untraveled in that area.

Why not ask about states in the US, and individual countries worldwide. If you take a a cross European tours, there are numerous cities visited other than Paris, Rome, etc. Likewise in Canada and Mexico there are cities other than Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal,and Mexico City.

Actually, unless you go outside of the large cities, I feel you really haven’t traveled at all. You have just moved from one large metropolitan environment to another. Get to know the people. If you were to judge the French by those who live in Paris, you’d never go back.

My most poignant, soulful, favorite piece of music, ever:

Are You Going With Me? - Pat Metheny Group

I am extremely well traveled in the South and that is about it.

My Brother-in-Law was a naval aviator and they got used to going all over the world then after he got out they continued to travel outside the U.S. every year for probably the last 15 years. They have not been to Russia or China or New Zealand nor most of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Except for those they have been everywhere.
