THE TIME HAS COME!=TO SAY GOODBYE

 

THE TIME HAS COME=

(To say GOODBYE)

 

Jesus LOVED his own

In this world=But it

Was never more APPARENT

Than when he had=TO SAY GOODBYE

THE TIME HAS COME!

To say goodbye

 

“…….Jesus KNEW

That his TIME=had come

To pass from this world=

To the Father

 

He loved HIS OWN

In the world=and he loved them

TO THE END”                                                                                                              John 13;1

 

I was BLESSED to be

With BOTH my dad

And mom=as they passed

They died with GRACE

Just like Jesus

 

The question is=

WILL WE die like Jesus=

IN GRACE AND LOVE=WHEN

Our time comes

TO SAY GOODBYE

 

THIS WEEK the time

Has come for Jesus

To say goodbye

 

TIME=we all only

GET so much of it

In this world=will we

LIVE AND LOVE=like Jesus

With our lives?

 

“Sow unrighteousness for yourselves=

Reap the fruit

Of unfailing love=

 

And break up=Your unplowed ground

FOR IT IS TIME

To seek the Lord”                                                                                                                Hosea 10:12

 

“For this is how

The promise was stated

 

‘AT THE APPOINTED TIME

I will return=and Sarah

Will have a son’”                                                                                                             Romans 9:9

 

“……..so Christ was SACRIFICED once

To take away

The sins of many

 

And he will appear=a SECOND TIME

Not to bear sin=But to bring salvation

To those=who are waiting for him”                                                                                  Hebrews 9:28

 

Christ says GOODBYE to us

This Holy Good Friday

But he will come to us again

A second time=he will

MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT

 

I am sure=Jesus CRIED

At the LAST SUPPER=when he

Said GOODBYE to his apostles

 

Just as I cried=when I said goodbye

TO EACH of my parents

 

“FOR IT IS TIME=for judgment to begin

With God’s household

 

And if it begins with us=

What will the outcome be=for those

Who do not obey=the gospel of God?”                                                                                     1 Peter 4:17

 

IT IS TIME=

For us to say GOODBYE TO JESUS=but we

Will be=SAYING HELLO AGAIN

Real soon!=in three days

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR FOREVER LIVING=LOVING=Holy Father God!
