The president of the USA\u00a0 changed my\u00a0 backpack.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h2>Sermon<\/h2>\n<h2>Everyone wants to save\u00a0 themselves in\u00a0 a difficult situation. Man escapes from\u00a0 a place\u00a0 of\u00a0 disaster in a fire, flood, earthquakes. But even in flight, one\u00a0 can\u00a0 be mistaken, take\u00a0 the\u00a0 backpack instead of parachute. People\u00a0 usually\u00a0 save\u00a0 themselves\u00a0 only\u00a0 when\u00a0 unhappiness\u00a0 comes. Jesus instructed\u00a0 his\u00a0 contemporaries citing\u00a0 the\u00a0 story\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 Flood\u00a0 of the\u00a0 World. As\u00a0 it was\u00a0 in the days of Noah, so shall it be\u00a0 upon\u00a0 the\u00a0 coming of the\u00a0 Son of Man. In the days\u00a0 before\u00a0 the\u00a0 flood\u00a0 people\u00a0 \u00a0ate\u00a0 and drank men and\u00a0 women\u00a0 married\u2026.until the flood\u00a0 came and\u00a0 swept\u00a0 \u00a0them\u00a0 all\u00a0 away.Matthew\u00a0 24,38. Noah was\u00a0 building a ship on\u00a0 dry\u00a0 land. People didn\u2019t understand\u00a0 why the\u00a0 ship he was\u00a0 building when the\u00a0 weather\u00a0 is sunny and\u00a0 there\u00a0 is no river or sea nearby. When the\u00a0 rain came and\u00a0 \u00a0the water\u00a0 started\u00a0 to rise, they\u00a0 understood what\u00a0 Noah\u00a0 was\u00a0 doing. He saved\u00a0 himself\u00a0 before\u00a0 the\u00a0 disaster\u00a0 came. In the\u00a0 Gospel we read. Be on\u00a0 your\u00a0 guard ,then, because\u00a0 you do not know, what\u00a0 day\u00a0 your\u00a0 Lord\u00a0 will\u00a0 come. Matthew 24, 42.It does not mean fear and\u00a0 tears of\u00a0 what\u00a0 is\u00a0 going\u00a0 to\u00a0 happen. It is\u00a0 a person\u2019s life attitude to his\u00a0 work and\u00a0 fulfillment\u00a0 of duties, and puts his\u00a0 life\u00a0 in the\u00a0 hands of God. Although it is\u00a0 mentioned\u00a0 in the Gospel. If the owner\u00a0 of\u00a0 \u00a0a house\u00a0 knew the\u00a0 time\u00a0 when\u00a0 the\u00a0 thief\u00a0 would\u00a0 come you can\u00a0 be\u00a0 sure that\u00a0 he\u00a0 would\u00a0 stay awake\u00a0 and\u00a0 not\u00a0 let\u00a0 the thief break into his\u00a0 house. Matthew 24, 42, but that\u00a0 doesn\u2019t mean\u00a0 God\u00a0 is a thief. The real thief is\u00a0 earthquake, flood.car accident, rail and\u00a0 air\u00a0 accident cancer, heart attack, bankruptcy, divorce. God is the father\u00a0 who likes and\u00a0 calls\u00a0 you. Save\u00a0 your\u00a0 life by putting\u00a0 it\u00a0 in my hands.Any Advent workout, or a person renounces something in terms of diet,\u00a0 drinking, bad\u00a0 habits, or reading\u00a0 of\u00a0 the Holy\u00a0 Scriptures. It will all be manifestation, God in this Advent period I put my life in your hand. I want to be closer to\u00a0 you\u00a0 again.\u00a0 This\u00a0 attitude means we are\u00a0 really\u00a0 vigilant. But really vigilant\u00a0 doesn\u2019t mean\u00a0 we\u2019re\u00a0 insured in the\u00a0 best insurance\u00a0 company. Watching means\u00a0 \u00a0being\u00a0 ready\u00a0 for a\u00a0 meeting. Watching\u00a0 does not\u00a0 mean\u00a0 to\u00a0 expect it to be accurate. For the Lord whom we\u00a0 expect,\u00a0 who is\u00a0 coming, is still\u00a0 here.. Or\u00a0 else\u00a0 it is\u00a0 always\u00a0 coming for\u00a0 the\u00a0 one\u00a0 who is willing\u00a0 to receive\u00a0 it. This is the\u00a0 deep meaning\u00a0 of Advent.\u00a0 It reminds the\u00a0 believer\u00a0 on this, that Jesus stands\u00a0 in the\u00a0 middle of\u00a0 our\u00a0 lives of\u00a0 work\u00a0 and\u00a0 effort. Who did\u00a0 not\u00a0 learn to meet Christ, who\u00a0 was\u00a0 not\u00a0 merciful\u00a0 to him, for\u00a0 he always\u00a0 comes as\u00a0 a thirsty, notorious,\u00a0 misunderstood, for\u00a0 this the\u00a0 first\u00a0 encounter\u00a0 with\u00a0 Christ will\u00a0 be\u00a0 the\u00a0 last. The\u00a0 meaning\u00a0 of Advent\u00a0 is\u00a0 actuall to be\u00a0 a human, learned\u00a0 to\u00a0 meet\u00a0 in time and\u00a0 thus\u00a0 achieved\u00a0 a lasting encounter\u00a0 with\u00a0 Christ\u00a0 in eternity.\u00a0 Advent is a call to\u00a0 vigilance.\u00a0 No sleep, open\u00a0 your\u00a0 eyes. The\u00a0 one\u00a0 who\u00a0 comes\u00a0 is\u00a0 \u00a0alreeady\u00a0 coming\u00a0 to you.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"nav-below\" class=\"navigation\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: -18px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; color: #777777; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; overflow: hidden; text-size-adjust: 120%;\">\n<div class=\"nav-previous\"><a href=\"http:\/\/predication.net\/?p=463\" rel=\"next\">\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comments\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"footer\" style=\"background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; clear: both; width: 940px; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" role=\"contentinfo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted on\u00a027.
