Luke 19:41-44 And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it, saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation."
Some periods of time in history have more significance than others, and often we live and then miss the historical moments as we are wrapped up in our own affairs, missing the importance of the event. From Friday to Monday the world has changed, firstly the marriage between Prince William to Katherine Middleton, then the death of Gadaffi’s son and three grandsons in Libya , followed by the killing of Ben Laden in Pakistan
Prince William will carry the primary title of Defender of the Christian Faith, this title will be bestowed on him at a future coronation, how he will respond to this still has to be seen. Ben Laden was seen to the Islamic community as their Defender of the Islamic faith and his killing by the USA Libya and the Middle East .
Having been witnesses to these events we need to pray even more intensely for world peace, and to pray for the return of Jesus Christ with an urgency as never before. As Christians we realise and believe that nothing in this world happens outside of the Word of God, so we the remnant of Believers on earth must not loose faith but to pray with greater intensity for the salvation of the world.
Be encouraged today to pray for world peace.
Point to ponder: Christ is coming.
Question to consider: Do you pray for the world to know Jesus Christ?
