Then As Now
During Elijah's time, God's people were being blamed for many of the problems the people of that day were facing much as in our society Christians are fair targets for any kind of criticism.
In this politically-correct time, it often seems the only group you can get away with publicly condemning are those who profess Jesus Christ as their Savior.
The truth is, in Elijah's day, and in the age we live, it is God's people who keep society from completely melting down. Believers in Christ are the spiritual glue that holds society together. There would be total chaos in our nation without people who love and serve God.
Just as Elijah challenged the people to choose which God they would serve, we have that same decision to make. The choice in Elijah's day was between the false prophets of Baal and the God of Israel.
Our decision today is the same. We can choose to serve the false prophets of this world or the Son of the living God, Jesus Christ.
The false prophets of this world claim they have the answers in psychic hotlines, in alcohol and drugs, in money and material possessions, in illicit sex with many partners, in political and personal power. The only problem is, In times of trouble, the false prophets of this world prove to be what they are -- false prophets.
Jesus Christ claims to be the way, the truth, the life. He claims to be God. JESUS PROVED HIS CLAIMS. THEY WERE VALIDATED WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD ON THAT GLORIOUS SUNDAY MORNING!!!!
When He rose from the dead, He was validated.
Will you allow yourself to be validated before God for time and eternity by accepting Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord?
