“I will make a covenant with
you,
by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”
Genesis 17:2 NLT
Is a one
hundred percent guarantee considered a
sure thing?
Checking the on-line weather prediction has
become my early morning habit. The report tells me if I'll get wet working in
the yard that day or if the intense sun will force me to stay indoors. When the
chance of rain shows one hundred percent, will it rain all day or does the
report means rain is guaranteed at least for five minutes? One thing remains
definite: our weatherman can be wrong
half the time. Guaranteed.
Recently, an airline pilot announced to his
passengers, “We are going down!” He sounded definite, one hundred percent sure.
People called loved ones on their cell phones and told them a tearful goodbye.
I wonder how many passengers prayed and repented of their sins?
I, for one, would have been extremely excited,
then disappointed when the plane landed safely. Imagine the joy of expecting to
see Jesus in five minutes! I would sit on the edge of my seat—ready, set, go
up!
Jesus declared our God has an amazing one
hundred percent guarantee for us.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.”
John 3:16 NKJV
