A powerful message by Brother Lester Roloff, addressing the Last Days in which we life. We are enduring unprecedented wicked times in America... booze, feminism, rebellion against parents, divorce, the pill, sexual immorality, homosexuality, abortion, bearing false witness, Rock 'N' Roll, massive government theft and tyranny, hypocrisy, hatred, et cetera. Our days are numbered as a nation.
Jesus paid a debt that He did not owe, because we owed a debt that we could not pay. Jesus could have quit, but He kept on keeping on! When Jesus was put on trial, not one witness showed up on His behalf. Not one of the people Jesus had healed came to His trial. Not one of His disciples showed up. Jesus could have easily become weary and quit, but He didn't.
Jesus' own hometown tried to push Him off a cliff for telling them the truth; but Jesus didn't quit. In Matthew 8:34, the entire town of Gergesenes came to Jesus and with one accord said... DEPART FROM US! Likewise, the public schools said to Jesus in 1962 and 1963, depart from us Jesus and take Your book with You, and don't come back, ever! I marvel when people actually ponder why there is so much crime, suicide and tragedies amongst teens in society today. When you ask Jesus to leave, you're inviting the Devil to come in! It's not that hard to figure out.
Jesus disciples all fell asleep during His final hours while praying; but Jesus didn't quit. Jesus kept going, knowing that Peter had denied knowing Him on multiple occasions, and that Judas had betrayed Him with a kiss for some money, and that all His Apostles forsook Him in His darkest hour. Jesus didn't quit!
Jesus could have dropped that cross and said, "forget this"; but He stayed the course, and He stayed on the cross. Amen! Jesus was tried, condemned, and crucified by His own testimony. Jesus was not ashamed. Jesus had courage. Jesus stood boldly in the face of death because He loves us very much, looking for the joy set before Him to be sacrificied for the sins of humanity (Hebrews 12:2). Thank you Jesus, I love you!
By God's grace may we all keep-on-keeping-on and never quit. Never give up hope, but if all hope seems gone, DON'T QUIT!
