THE WORST ATROCITY ON EARTH

 “For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned (rejected) Me, The fountain of living water,.." - Jeremiah 2:13 (AMP)

An atheistic barber asked a pastor, “If there is a loving God, how can He allow war, poverty and suffering? While the pastor was about to respond to the barber's question, he saw a man with a very untidy hair crossing the street. He immediately called the attention of the barber to the man and said, “You are a barber and claim to be a good one. How can you allow that man to go unkept and unshaven?” The barber replied “He never gave me a chance!”. Then, the pastor said, “Exactly, men are what they are because they reject God!”

The worst atrocity that any one can commit on earth is to reject the offer of redemption that God made to man through Jesus Christ. This offer was designed to rid the world of sin and all its consequences. It was programmed to restrain the move of the devil in turning the world into a jungle of wickedness, injustice and brutality. It is an awesome and amazing offer! Unfortunately, billions of people all over the world today have rejected this offer. Despite repeated knocks on the doors of their heart, they have refused to open to Jesus Christ. With their hardened heart, they walk across the street of life like the disheveled man in the above story. This is quite absurd!

"Look, I’m standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in and we’ll eat together". -Revelation 3:20 (GW)

Beloved, have you opened the door of your heart to the saviour? Have you given Jesus Christ a chance to wash away your filthiness with His precious blood? Have you honoured God's invitation to His banqueting tables of mercy and grace? If you have not, then, you are guilty of the worst atrocity on earth. The consequences of rejecting God is eternal destruction that no man can bear (Isaiah 1:28). So, I urge you to please open wide the door of your heart for Jesus Christ today. Let God use His divine clippers to shave off everything capable of destroying your glorious destiny.  

"But rebels and sinners will be destroyed together, and those who abandon the Lord will die" - Isaiah 1:28 (FBV)

One hymn that re-echoes the redemption offer that God made to man in Revelation 3:20 is titled "LET HIM IN". May the doors of every sinner and backsliders' hearts be opened as they meditate on the lyrics of this wonderful hymn below:  

LET HIM IN By J. B. Atchinson

There’s a Stranger at the door,

Let Him in;

He has been there oft before,

Let Him in;

Let Him in, ere He is gone,

Let Him in, the Holy One,

Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son,

Let Him in.

Open now to Him your heart,

Let Him in;

If you wait He will depart,

Let Him in;

Let Him in, He is your Friend;

He your soul will sure defend,

He will keep you to the end,

Let Him in.

Hear you now His loving voice?

Let Him in;

Now, oh, now make Him your choice,

Let Him in;

He is standing at your door,

Joy to you He will restore,

And His Name you will adore,

Let Him in.

Now admit the heav’nly Guest,

Let Him in;

He will make for you a feast,

Let Him in;

He will speak your sins forgiv’n,

And when earth ties all are riv’n,

He will take you home to heav’n,

Let Him in.

My prayer is that you and I will not be left behind when the saints are being taken up into the City of Delight in Jesus name, Amen.
