D-DAY!

This entry was posted on 06-11-2008 and is filed under uncategorized.

A few days ago D-Day was celebrated (June 6). The Allied invasion at Normandy led to the deliverance of many who were suffering under the Nazi regime. I was at my sister's home on Normandy Drive in Iowa City on June 6. What a quirky coincidence.

Did you know that you and I should be looking forward to a special D-Day? Consider again Eph. 4:30, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption" (NKJV). The Amplified Version expands on this "day of redemption" as follows: "final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin."

Right now, even though we have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, we are still living under "enemy occupation." Satan is the prince of this world. But not for long! Jesus is coming again. And when He comes, we will be delivered once and for all from this world of evil and the eternal consequences of sin - hell. The Holy Spirit has sealed us for this great day! Yet another reason not to grieve Him!

Hymn: "Jesus may come today, Glad day! Glad day! And I would see my Friend; Dangers and troubles would end, If Jesus should come today. Glad day! Glad day! Is it the crowning day? I'll live for today, nor anxious be, Jesus my Lord I soon shall see; Glad day! Glad day! Is it the crowning day?" (George Walker Whitcomb).
