Day is near


"The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts."  Romans 13

The day is near.  

It's been dark for a long time!  The darkness of night has become our norm, but there is a glimmer of light on the horizon, a bit of light we have not seen before.  The day is near!  The sun will soon rise and change everything.  It's coming.  It's as sure as the turning of the earth and the approach of the new day.  

The day Paul is talking about is the day of the Lord, the appearing of the Son.  The light of life eternally present.  It's near and it's time for us to wake up!  Time to get dressed for the day.  Time to put on Christ Jesus and stop sinning.  The groom is at the door, the wedding is about to begin.

Are you ready?
