“Seek the Lord while he may be found, call to him while he is near.”
As long as we still have blood in our veins and breath in our lungs, we have the opportunity to make our return to the Lord.
As Jesus hints in his parable today, some have sought the Lord early in their lives and they have labored for him ever since. But others have sought the Lord only near the end of their lives and he has rewarded them just the same as he rewarded those who have followed him for a long time. Eternal salvation is eternal salvation no matter when it is received. Yes, we believe in deathbed conversions!
The fact of the matter is that it is never too late to seek the Lord and call upon him because the Lord is very generous with his love and mercy. He is always ready to give his blessing to all who ask for it, whether at the beginning, middle or end of life.
Have a blessed week everyone.
