**No Chance To Be Born! While I was alive in my mother’s womb, And my life was taken from me too soon. God did, You ever have a plan for me? If You did, I guess it was never meant to be. Lord You must have known I’d never be born, even before, I was ever formed. If only I’d had the chance to say, Mom couldn’t you just give me away. I wish I had known what it would have been like, If I’d ever been able to ride a bike. Or to run and play with other little boys, And had a lot of friends and a lot of toys. And grown up to have Children all of my own, But that is too late “I’m already home”

It is going to result in the most remarkable separations in the annals of human history. In the most sudden and most mysterious manner, workers in the same field and sleepers in the same bed will be forever separated from each other.

This event will result in the physical disappearance of a host of people of all nations, ages; colors and stations of life. It will be the cause of many vacant chairs in homes, schools, hospitals, offices, stores and other places of legitimate activity.

This event will close the door of the most extraordinary opportunity which man has ever had since the day of his creation. Shortly after this event, “peace shall be taken from the earth” and there shall be “wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes” and supernatural signs in the heavens and on the earth.

The world’s most despotic dictator will then be revealed – and being a political, military, industrial economic and ecclesiastical genius, this long- sought super-man will deify himself and demand universal homage on pain of torture and death.

This great event is the return of the Lord Jesus Christ! Yes, there will be a return of the very One who was born in Bethlehem, lived in Nazareth, spoke living words and wrought mighty miracles throughout Palestine. He promises to return. He said to His own: “I will come again” (John 14:3). To those who witnessed His ascension, this assurance was given: “This same Jesus, which was taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).

Friend, are you ready for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ? If you are not ready for this rapidly approaching event will you prepare for it now? “The most extraordinary opportunity” referred to above is that of receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. He “died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (I Corinthians 15:3), and upon receiving Him, one receives the forgiveness of sins, deliverance from judgment, eternal life, the Holy Spirit and a place in the church which is His body. Oh, seize the opportunity now for becoming one of Christ’s. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

When the Lord Jesus comes again, He will take each true believer from this world to be in His presence where there is “fullness of joy and pleasures forever more.” But what will become of the unsaved? They will be left for the Great Tribulation and all its stirring events! They will be left for that time of trouble concerning which the Lord Jesus said: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” Matthew 24:21).

Think of the painful experience of having to do with the man of sin, that wicked one, “who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God” (II Thessalonians 2:4). Think of being commanded to receive his mark or the number of his name (666) – apart from which you will be unable to buy or sell the necessities of life. (See Revelation 13:15.)

Friend, the Lord Jesus is coming and coming soon. Will you not prepare for His coming by definitely accepting Him and thus be ready to meet Him? Why should you expose yourself to His wrath in the world which is to come? On the cross the Lord Jesus suffered “the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God” (I Peter 3:18). Believe on Him and be saved and joyfully serve Him. Then you will have a personal, vital interest in the coming again of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Throughout God’s relationship and dealings with man, the consistent theme is the manifestation of His love. He has proclaimed His love, pledged His love and proved His love. He has dedicated, dispensed and demonstrated His love. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins” (I John 4:10).

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them…Now to Him that is of power to stablish you ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was kept secret since the world began” (Rom. 16:17, 25). “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake” (Tit. 1:10, 11).

Paul continually warned against the teaching of human wisdom and false doctrine. He constantly reiterated the purity and verity of his own instruction as empowered by the Holy Spirit of God and the authority of his apostleship. “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual” (I Cor. 2:12, 13).

Even young Timothy was cautioned by the apostle to beware of spoilers of the truth. “0 Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: which some professing have erred concerning the faith” (I Tim. 6:20, 21). “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them” (II Tim. 3:13, 14).

Particularly emphatic were Paul’s admonitions to the church at Galatia. “There be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed!”

In his letter to the church at Colosse, the apostle Paul speaks of “the hope which is laid up for you in heaven” and “Christ in you, the hope of glory”. To the world, the word ‘hope’ means nothing more than a dream or a desire — something desirable but unreachable or, at the least, doubtful of acquisition. And to many Christians it is a yearning only: “1 hope the Lord will save me in the end and take me to heaven.”

But the member of the Church the Body of Christ who rightly divides the Word of truth, knows differently. He knows that the believer’s hope is an accomplished possession — a realization. Paul refers to the Body members as the “purchased possession” (Eph. 1:14) and a “peculiar people” (Titus 2:14), which is literally defined ‘God’s own possession’.

Our hope is a Person, the embodiment of flawless perfection in whom we are positioned and with whom we are identified. In his first epistle to Timothy, Paul’s salutation reads, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, WHO IS OUR HOPE”. And his prayer for the saints at Ephesus was that they might fully comprehend their treausre. “…That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints…” (Eph. 1:17, 18).

As joint-heirs with Christ we have already come into our inheritance. We need not wish or long for some remote and uncertain bequest from a fickle benefactor; “He HATH RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:6). And now we live in anticipation of final fulfilment as we are “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ!”

The miracle of the mystery, revealed by the apostle Paul, is perhaps the most mind boggling of all scriptural expositions. The nation Israel, as God’s chosen people, had theretofore held the spotlight in all matters religious and spiritual. If a Gentile sought to be acceptable in God’s sight, he was required to comply with the traditions of Jewish orthodoxy. Paul reminded the Ephesian church of the Gentile’s position in former days.

“Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.”

Even as Christ ministered on earth. He gave no quarter in this regard. “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying. Go not into the way of the Gentiles…But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt. 10:5, 6). “We know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). “And, behold, a woman of Canaan…cried unto Him, saying. Have mercy on me, 0 Lord, thou son of David…But He answered and said, 1 am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel…It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and cast it to the dogs” (Matt. 15:22, 24, 26).

The apostle continues, BUT NOW in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. What a reversal was this! And how could it happen? Paul explains: “For He is our peace. Who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between Us [Jew and Gentile]; having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make of Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that He might reconcile both unto God in one Body by the cross… For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”

“The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual discerneth all things, yet he himself is discerned of no man.”

Only the Holy Spirit can interpret for us the Word of God, and the unregenerate do not have the Holy Spirit. God reveals in His Holy Word all that He would have us to know. But before we can understand, we must first receive the gift of salvation by grace through faith. We thus acquire the Holy Spirit as om interpreter. No degree of human intellect can substitute for the Holy Spirit. No level of mortal esteem or code of morals or good intentions will qualify as a means to comprehending the things of God.

Even some who are saved by God’s grace unto life eternal may never become mature in the knowledge of the scriptures. Salvation alone will not bring understanding. The Holy Spirit interprets, but He does not force-feed. There must be a willingness to learn, a desire to grow in the faith. This is the problem that Paul had with the Corinthian church. “And 1, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able” (I Cor. 3:1, 2).

We can offer instruction in the Word of God but we cannot compel the hearer to comprehend. It is not our responsibility as ambassadors for Christ to overpower an audience, but to present the truth clearly and in love. Conviction and submission are the work of the Holy Spirit.

Like our apostle himself, it is our responsibility to attempt to “Make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, Who created all things by Jesus Christ” (Eph. 3:9).

But only by way of expounding the truth; discernment will be governed by the Holy Spirit alone.
