Striking Turn of Events
I am sitting and reading this verse about what Jesus said to His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane two thousand years ago, and it hits me like a brick, how this statement will be turned around at the Lord’s second coming.
At the arrest and crucifixion:
“See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.” (Matthew 26:45)
At the second coming:
“See, the hour is at hand, and betraying sinners will be rightly delivered into the hands of the Son of Man.” (Shelli’s synopsis)
What a turn of events, when the One who willingly died at the hands of sinners, soon returns to deal with sinners who will not receive His salvation. There is only one way to God, and His name is Jesus, the Son of Man. Without Him, a person is doomed to eternal separation from God.
