Is Jesus a Necessity in Your Life?

Reflections from the Heart of Allan Redenius
Those of us who are a tad bit older, when we were young, marveled at reading a comic book with the main character by the name of Dick Tracy.  A detective who always solved crimes and got the villain.  Of course, he had an advantage to his sleuth-like prowess.  He had a telephone on his wrist into which he could talk.  Then along came Captain Kirk in the Starship Enterprise in the made for TV series, Star Trek.  He had a “communicator” strapped to his wrist into which he could talk and receive back a communication.  
 
What was fantasy then, is reality now.  Did you know that the smartphone we carry in our pocket today, has more computing capability than the computers used on Apollo 11 as the astronauts hurtled toward the moon at breakneck speed?  How many other things, that were once imagined, are now reality?  Not too long-ago artificial intelligence was a long shot.  Today people worry if artificial intelligence will take over the world.  
 
As I ponder about the future and how quickly knowledge is expanding, I wonder what will be the next blockbuster discovery?  If only I could think of that which is obscure today that might be a necessity for tomorrow, I might have a shot at being a very rich man.  What might that new discovery be that is waiting?  I believe that it must be something that would be a necessity, inexpensive, and people always run out of it.  The only thing I can think of that fits those criteria is toilet paper and it’s already been invented😊. 
 
Actually, I believe the next new discoveries will all evolve around technology and travel.  Why do I believe this?  As we approach the end of days, Daniel 12:4 (KJV) records for us the times in which we live.  “… many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”  Are we not all traveling more than we ever thought imaginable?  As to knowledge, it is increasing exponentially with each new piece of artificial intelligence programmed.  Wait...or, does it program itself?
 
Here is a reality check for you, something that is not fantasy.  We are living in the days of Daniel 12:4.  Just one more sign that Jesus is coming soon to take us home to heaven.  You do have a ticket, right?  Maybe that's the obscure thing today that is necessary for tomorrow.  Jesus is a necessity in your life, He is free, and He will never run out of love for you.  Are you ready to meet Jesus in the air?
 
Love,
Pastor Allan
