The end of all things is near

“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.
