“The
end of all things is near” (1 Peter 4:7)
The Bible is one incomparable
book which speaks about both the beginning and end of all things. Now if I
should list out the things which are revealed in the Bible and explain how and
when those things have begun and are going to end, this message will extend
into a voluminous book. It would be both impossible and unnecessary within the
premises of our present purview.
The Bible speaks about the
beginning of sin in human life. The great fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of
Eden is the beginning of human sin. The sin which had its beginning in the
lives of Adam and Eve will come to an end only through the manifestation of the
power of the blood of Christ. Every other problem we face as individuals and as
a race has its roots in the fall of Adam. Our problems are innumerable. The
world is full of problems today. We have problems like unemployment, inflation
and uncontrollable epidemics like cancer and AIDS. And we have the problem of
racial discrimination which results in war. These are the problems we are
facing as a race. We have some individual problems too. Each one knows his/her
own problems. Some of us are facing financial problems and some have problem
keeping their family intact. Most of the individual problems result in
indigestion, acidity and insomnia. No one is really happy in this world; even
millionaires and their children are attempting suicide. There’s no peace in the
hearts of the people and in the families. These are all the vicious fruits of
the original sin in the Garden of Eden.
But we have good news! The words
in 1 Peter 4:7 “the end of all things is near” may sound like an announcement
of the doomsday. But it is also a positive announcement of the happy end of
this world. When God says that the end of all things is coming, He means that
even your problems will come to an end. Jesus, the God of the Bible, can put an
end to your sleeplessness. He can put an end to all your physical ailments and
sufferings. Jesus came to this world to put an end to all the problems which
the devil brought into the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve.
My dear brothers and sisters, are
you living as a slave of secret faults? (Psalms 19:12). Jesus is able to put an
end to the misery of double life in you. The devil is the beginner of all human
problems and Jesus is the mighty God who ends all human problems and
sufferings. Whatever your problem is just talk to Jesus about it and that is
the end of your problem.
