Is anyone out there that hasn’t heard about or is becoming wrapped up in the Monday event of the Eclipse?
I will be looking. I’ve been watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the past few months and I can’t remember when I’ve seen such a series of breath-taking beauty . God definitely has us looking up in anticipation and this all reminds me of the scripture that tells us to be alert and keep watch
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you do not know the day or hour of My return.” Matthew 25:13 NLT
What I will be remembering when I gaze through my glasses as the moon passes in front of the sun is the scripture that describes an event that happened when our Lord was crucified. The Bible tells us that as Christ hung on the cross there was darkness that lasted almost three hours.
Matt 27:45, 46 “Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’”
Do you know what God had to do to stop the sun and the moon and all of the stars for three hours? The Eclipse we will see on April 8th will last only four minutes but all will be watching and all will marvel whether they give God credit or not.
As for me, as I watch, I will be thinking about the darkness that happened at the crucifixion of Jesus. That God could not look upon His Son as He bore all the sins of the world. Jesus died as the son of man! But glorious day, He rose out of that grave as the SON OF GOD.
