Be UNEARTHED. Found and Redeemed.

The 2012 phenomenon. If you haven't heard of this- you might have been living under a rock someplace. Countless documentaries- even a movie- has been based upon this event. From ancient Mayan predictions to 21st century scholars, they all argue that by December of 2012- all of humanity- will be wiped out for good. Although how it'll happen still remains a point of debate- a solar explosion? meteorite collision? However way one predicts it, only one point remains the same- our life....here on earth as we know it, will eventually come to an END.

Do we have to wait for 2012 to realize that our life here is slowly fleeting away? That we all have an endpoint here. We see death happen. And at some point, we will see ours too.. Therefore, there can only be two truths: life on earth is temporary and what's after this life- ETERNITY- is what matters most.

The Bible offers us hints as to how quick our life here is- a breath, a wisp of smoke, merely a shadow...

" For we were born but yesterday, our days here on earth are but a shadow" Job 8:9

Our residence here on earth is brief. Everyone know this, yet we become so blinded by false hopes, false security, false truths and ideologies. Everyone knows that life is ending, yet we still work so hard to achieve things of earthly value. If life on earth is so quick- then are we merely on a pointless pursuit?

Think of it as being on a vacation- you feel so at home and relaxed at this foreign island, you never want to leave. You become so immersed in being one with its people- you think having fruit baskets as hats and straw skirts as clothes is normal. Do you then go home looking like a fruit stand? Don't you think its just ridiculous? So is our pursuit for worldy things. Going home dressed like a hula girl on crack is the same as dying a sinner, without Christ. You have packed and worn the wrong things for your journey home.

"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul." 1 Peter 2:11

For we are but aliens, visitors of this earth. Our citizenship is with God our Father in heaven- for all of eternity. If you are unsure of this, then friends- we urge you to come forth and know this truth:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

It is through Jesus, that we come to know what lies ahead- after we've breathed our last here on earth. This earth, our lives here- is merely just a passing phase. Let us not indulge ourselves with fading things; let us not get carried away by earthly ideals- let us not be lost in a world that is not meant to be our home.

2012 can come tomorrow- who knows? If your end finally comes, do you leave home or do you go home? We urge you to dig deep into your hearts and pray you find your answer in Christ.

Our Father is only waiting to find us- for through Jesus Christ we are found. Disengage from the bondages of this world- let go of your straw skirts and hats. Believe in Christ- Be SAVED, BE FOUND.... BE UNEARTHED.
