Unfortunately, time is up. We explain that he needs to listen and obey the first time we say something. Then he’s put in time-out.
An Eternal Punishment
It’s not good when my son misses the countdown. He doesn’t like the 3 minutes of time-out. However, it ends and life goes on.
God has given us a warning and an opportunity as well. There will be day of judgment. We don’t know exactly when, but we know it will come. Until then, or until we die, there is a great opportunity to repent and believe.
If we wait passed the deadline, punishment will come, but unlike my son’s time-out, it won’t end in 3 minutes…or ever.
All Will Kneel
All will kneel before Jesus and confess Him as Lord. The question is whether we do it before the countdown ends or after. Before, means to repent and believe and be forgiven and given eternal life. After is to have the horrifying realization that we missed our opportunity.
It reminds me of Joshua who asked the people of Israel what they would do now that they had settled in the Promised Land.
