If Tomorrow Never Comes

“If Tomorrow Never Comes….” This Garth Brooks song expresses a man’s love of his wife that remains to be shared in contemplation – of “will she know how much I loved her, will the love I gave her in the past be enough to last….”

 

I personally have wrestled through this sentiment…. Yes, for my own wife, children, family and our congregation – but also for those I have come into contact with from the communities I have been a part of. However, I am not simply self-reflecting on my own inevitable death and departure from this world; I am thinking from a raptured remnant perspective.

 

God has given all of us, born again believers, alive at this point and time the opportunity to consider “If Tomorrow Never Comes”… OH – we know that one day that will be true, and eternity will be the forever tomorrow we will be stepping into as we leave behind those who we have been called to share the gospel with, to warn of what is coming for those who reject Christ…

 

NO, there is not much time left – as much as I hope there would be, things are falling into prophetic place in such a pace that the urgency, the necessity, has never been more important. What IF you knew you did not have tomorrow? What if you knew what was next? WELL – you and I do know! Tomorrow is only for those who have reckoned with Rise Lord – that is Jesus!! Where they have trusted and believed in Jesus’ substitute punishment and death – the penalty mankind’s sin laid all upon Him, the death wages paid for your sins and mine…. And since Jesus rose from the grave, since HE conquered the power of death, since Jesus is alive – all who call on His name to be saved, all who believe that He died and rose again will be saved and in exchange for your sins, He offers you His righteous standing before God from atonement with His blood for our salvation…

 

Now, rest assured – it is on our watch – it is our obligation and duty to share the Gospel Today, to take what the Bible says – what the prophetic Word of God has declared for tomorrow and apply it today – as “NOW is the day of salvation…” for IF today is the day – tomorrow is too late!

 

If tomorrow never comes…

The remnant will be gone, departed from today

The hearts of those that hardened now, during tribulation will have to bow

It is up to you and me – to share the truth that sets them free

Before tomorrow never comes…

 

Yet, for those who would believe, those who could and would receive

Jesus offers tomorrow yet today, with a love for sinners to be saved

Rescuing you from being sin’s slave

Before tomorrow never comes…

 

Raptured away in flash –

we are headed for the sky – we will never die

After tomorrow never comes…

 

Remember to speak and share today – before it’s too late

Warn the world of what awaits, so they can see heaven’s gates

In Case tomorrow never comes…

 

If tomorrow never comes…

Will they know Jesus’ love will never pass, that it is His loves that will last?

Because Jesus is the only One who can save anyone

When tomorrow never comes…

Eternity will one day come,

Pastor D.L. Barnett
