    In this parable, the Lord used the image of eyesight to convey an important spiritual principle.

    We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us.

    As we look at the coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, the emphasis is on the element of surprise.

    For example, a thief does not call the home that he plans to enter and say, “About one O’clock this evening I plan to arrive.” When he enters a home, he wants the element of surprise to be on his side.And the Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the ...read more

    We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

    This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others.
