“The Roll Call”
Tuesday, March 25, 2025Key Verse
“And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:32
Text — Matthew 25:31-34
Message
One faithful day, Dorcas arrived late to school and missed the roll call. This got her class teacher worried, but Dorcas explained the reason for her lateness to school because the school bus did not pick them at the right time.
The roll call to heaven is a day that no one should miss. Every child that has surrendered his or her life to Christ should live with the expectation, that on the last day when the trumpet shall sound and the saints are gathered together in heaven, he will be part of the number, ready to receive the crown of life. For the Lord has promised to give crowns to those that love Him and keep His commandments.
In order not to miss the last roll-call, you must repent and surrender your life to Christ. Turn away from your sins, as sin is a hinderance to being on the roll call in heaven, live in expectation of the rapture and second coming of Christ. While you are waiting, you must engage in constant fellowship with God and other friends of Jesus and continue to tell others about Jesus.
