Three Warnings Before Jesus Returns
Before Jesus returns, He gave three urgent warnings.
Many people believe they're ready, but Jesus warned that some who
expect to enter His kingdom will discover too late that they
cannot. Here are three warnings you cannot afford
to
ignore. The first warning is a heart that still looks back.
When Jesus spoke about His return, He gave one surprising command:
remember Lot's wife. She escaped Sodom with her
family, yes. Yet she looked back. Why?
Because although her body left the city, her heart never did.
Jesus explained this principle:
where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Many people follow Jesus outwardly, but their hearts still belong
to this world. Their comfort, their plans, their
possessions, their old life. When Jesus comes, your heart will
run toward what you treasure most.
Do not wait until then. Surrender everything, everything
that competes with Christ today.
The second warning is lamps without oil.
Jesus told the story of the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom.
All of them looked ready. All carried lamps.
All expected to enter, but only five had oil.
The others had appearance of faith without a real relationship with God.
Many people attend church, pray, and call themselves Christians,
but they rarely seek God, obey His Word, or walk closely to Him.
And here is the frightening truth: oil cannot be borrowed.
Nobody else's faith can save you. Not your parents,
not your pastor, not your spouse.
Your relationship with Jesus must be your own.
Then scripture says, "And the door was shut."
Third warning: repentance that came too late.
Hebrews says Esau sought the blessings with tears, but he found no
opportunity to reverse what he had chosen.
He traded something eternal for temporary satisfaction,
thinking he could make it right later. Many people do the same.
They feel conviction, but keep saying, "I'll repent later," or,
"I'll take God seriously someday."
But someday is never promised. When Jesus
returns, there will be no second opportunity.
Regret cannot reopen a closed door.

It could be the warning that changes somebody's eternity.
Please make the right choice. Amen.
