April 10, 2017 - SIGNS OF THE TIMES


Day 100 - 1 Samuel 4-6 & Luke 12:35-59

He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? (Luke 12:54-56 ESV)

“Jesus condemns the unbelief of those beholding His miraculous signs who yet reject the obvious implications. Satan blinds the hearts of unbelievers even to this day. Only by God’s grace can we see clearly, as the Spirit opens our eyes through faith in Jesus Christ.” (Lutheran Study Bible, page1742)

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see!
(Lutheran Service Book, #744)

Lord Jesus, please open my eyes to Your presence in my life. To this end, grant me a hunger for Your Word, the Bible. And then please use me to share You and Your promises with others. Amen.

Pastor David Paape
