Russia, Georgia, and Jesus

Well it was inevitable. Some misguided soul would think the return of Jesus is soon because of war in Russia. For years preachers have been trying to decipher when Jesus is coming back. They use very obscure texts and play on them like kids on a jungle gym.

The truth is Jesus is bodily returning to earth one day. When it happens it will be the greatest event in history. However, wars, nor earthquakes, nor oil prices will give us a better idea than we already have. That is no idea. Martin Luther was asked if Jesus came back tomorrow what would you do. "I would plant my garden today." He responded. May we ever be watchful to the sky and not the news when it comes to Christ's return.
