Today's Devotional - May 20

Life's Final Test

Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Mark 13:33

Titus 2:11-14

Anybody who has been to school knows what "cramming" is. We know a test is coming but we fail to prepare until the last minute. Often a syllabus is handed out at the beginning of the course that has the dates of each test -- so students know exactly what is coming. Yet it is human nature to put off until tomorrow what we can prepare for today.

The Bible is like that syllabus. It tells anyone who will read it of the last great test humanity will face: "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). Jesus Christ will return to earth to judge the world and establish His righteous kingdom of peace and justice. Many have heard this truth and have postponed preparing for this final test, the only preparation being to place one's faith in Christ Himself. And many Christians, who will also be tested by Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11-15; 2 Corinthians 5:10), are failing to live in such a way that will result in rewards for their faithfulness.

If you do not know Christ, prepare today by accepting Him as Savior and Lord. And if you do know Him, live today in a manner that declares your faith.

No one is redeemed except through unmerited mercy, and no one is condemned except through merited judgment.

Augustine

From This Point Forward

Here's a driving quiz to set the stage for this article: In which European country does one turn right in order to go left? And in which European country does one turn left to go right? (There are more countries where this driving paradox occurs, but I've chosen two European countries to make it easy.)
