A Letter to Those Seeking Hope: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

Dear Friends, Families, and Young People,

There’s a love story written in the stars, older than time itself, and you’re part of it. Not any human messenger’s story - but God’s story with you.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” - John 3:16

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:8

The King in the Field

Jesus said in Matthew 13:38, “The field is the world.” Right now, the King of Kings walks among us through His Spirit. He’s not distant or disconnected. Like a shepherd seeking lost sheep (Luke 15:4), He’s actively pursuing every heart.

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” - Luke 15:4

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” - Revelation 3:20

The Urgency of This Hour

Jesus warned in Matthew 24:42: “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.”

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” - Matthew 24:36

“For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:2

The Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) - the feast where “no one knows the day or hour” - points to His return.

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” - 1 Corinthians 15:52

“Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.” - Psalm 81:3

To the Young People: Be Wise Virgins

Jesus told this parable in Matthew 25:1-13. Ten young women waited for the bridegroom. Five were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps. Five were foolish and ran out.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.” - Matthew 25:1-2

“But the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps… But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’” - Matthew 25:4,6

The oil represents the Holy Spirit in your life. It’s not enough to just “know about” Jesus. You need Him living IN you.

“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” - 2 Corinthians 13:5

“However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” - Romans 8:9

To the Parents: Your Children Need Truth Now

“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” - Deuteronomy 6:6-7

“Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs 22:6

Your children are facing the most deceptive generation in history.

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.” - Colossians 2:8

“But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” - 2 Timothy 3:13

They need:

- The simple Gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
- The blessed hope: “Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus” (Titus 2:13)

The Last-Hour Workers and the Thief on the Cross

Jesus told of workers hired at the eleventh hour who received the same reward as those who worked all day.

“And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.” - Matthew 20:9

“So the last shall be first, and the first last.” - Matthew 20:16

The thief crucified beside Jesus simply said, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”

“And He said to him, ‘Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.’” - Luke 23:43

“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” - 2 Peter 3:9

IT’S NOT TOO LATE. Whether you’ve known Him for years or just meeting Him now, His grace is sufficient.

“And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’” - 2 Corinthians 12:9

The Promise of Revelation 3:10

“Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” - Revelation 3:10

“For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:9

To those who truly belong to Christ, He promises protection from the coming tribulation. Not by our strength, but by His.

“Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” - Romans 8:35

“I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” - John 10:28

The Love Beyond Comprehension

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.” - Ephesians 3:20

“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 8:38-39

This isn’t religion. This is rescue.

“Others, save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” - Jude 1:23

“The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” - Luke 19:10

What Must You Do?

1. Admit you’re a sinner

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” - Romans 3:23

“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.” - 1 John 1:8

2. Believe Jesus died for you and rose again

“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” - Romans 10:9

“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God.” - 1 Peter 3:18

3. Call on Him

“For ‘Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” - Romans 10:13

“The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” - John 6:37

The Blessed Encouragement

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” - John 14:2-3

To Those Who Feel It’s Too Late

Remember: The God who spoke galaxies into existence cares about YOUR heart.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.” - Matthew 10:29-31

“Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.” - Isaiah 49:15-16

The One who holds atoms together knows YOUR name. The King who’s preparing mansions has a room for YOU.

“You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” - Psalm 16:11

The Time is NOW

“Behold, now is ‘THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,’ behold, now is ‘THE DAY OF SALVATION.’” - 2 Corinthians 6:2

“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.” - Hebrews 3:15

Don’t wait for a perfect messenger. Don’t wait for a sign. The Spirit of God is calling YOU today.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.” - Isaiah 55:6

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.” - Isaiah 1:18

A Final Word to Parents and Young People

The world is shaking. Nations are aligning. The UN is demanding compliance.

“Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed.” - Psalm 2:1-2

But remember:

“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.” - Daniel 2:44

“Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.’” - Revelation 11:15

You’re not joining a losing team. You’re joining the eternal victory already won at Calvary.

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 15:57

“You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” - 1 John 4:4

Come to Jesus

Not to a church. Not to a movement. Not to a human messenger. Come to JESUS.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” - Matthew 11:28-29

He’s waiting with arms wide open, and Heaven’s angels are ready to rejoice over your homecoming.

“I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” - Luke 15:7

“In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” - Luke 15:10

The King IS Coming. Be Ready.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.” - Revelation 22:12

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.” - Revelation 22:20

“And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” - Revelation 22:17

“The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.” - Revelation 22:21

With urgent love and eternal hope,

A Fellow Watchman

“But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6
