Heads Up


"Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28).

It has only been 11 days since these baby Robins hatched from their eggs--blind, naked and helpless.  Now covered in feathers, their eyes wide open, they are able to move around in the nest and peer out into the world around them. It will not be long until these nestlings become fledglings, ready to venture out on their own.  They will have to pay close attention as they have much to learn about surviving in the world.

Like birds in a nest, our time on earth is short, but a glorious kingdom awaits those who belong to Christ.  Now is the time to pay attention to His teachings and learn of His redemption before it is too late.  There is no other way to eternal life.

"And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away"
(Isaiah 35:10).
