Jesus’ Rod Is Coming!

Ever hear that old saying, “spare the rod, spoil the child”?  In the “old” days, it meant that if children were not disciplined, they could become spoiled.

Jesus is our Shepherd and He loves us, but sadly many have become spoiled.  Thinking they can do whatever they wish, they have repeatedly insulted God.  They are ungrateful for Christ’s great sacrifice on their behalf.  They have forgotten that love is a two-way street.  God loves us and we also need to love and obey God. 

For many years, Jesus has guided us with His Staff.  But many of us have not listened.  Mary appeared at least twice to warn us, but still we did not listen! 

In Jeremiah 50:6, it says: “My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray and caused them to roam on the mountains.  They wandered over mountain and hill and forgot their own resting place.”

Sounds a lot like today.

In Christ’s Mercy, He has used His staff to guide us. But many have not listened and have not obeyed.

Watch, Prepare and Pray. And remember that the Rod belongs to Christ-not to us…Just as the Battle belongs to God, not us 🙂

And lastly remember: “That ye may be the children of your. Father which is in heaven: for he maketh. his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” – Matthew 5:45

Whether life is easy or hard, God is still the answer. God loves us and will still answer our prayers and Jesus is still the bridge ?
