Embarrassed?
If you follow the news at all then you know that the rapture was supposed to happen this past Saturday. At least that was the prediction made by a minister named Harold Camping, and apparently this was not the first time he made a prediction of this sort. Don't worry he has done some recalculations and now he is saying we are leaving in October. What about the words "no man knows" don't we understand? Two thousand years ago in Matt. 24:36 Jesus Christ said that "no man" would know the day or the hour of His return, and ever since people have been spending copious amounts of time and energy trying to figure it out. The news reported that this man's followers spent over 100 million dollars advertising this false prediction. Jesus told us that the most important commandments were that we should love God, and love others. (Matt. 22:37-39) I've got an idea. Why don't we spend all of this extra time, and money on these two commandments. We could do a lot of better things with 100 million dollars. It's time for God's people to actually read the book we carry. Sometimes I am embarrassed by how dumb people can be. Let's focus on what Jesus said was really important.
