Extraordinary floods and the biggest cyclone in living memory have devastated us. Even as we rally to one another’s assistance we know that there is more to come. Worldwide, humanity is groaning under similar woes. Something is badly wrong. But what is it? What are these events saying to us?
They are words from the living God, our Creator and Judge. He sends them to awaken us to our deepest spiritual reality and need. They declare to us that our sins have plunged us and the creation under the righteous judgment of God. They warn us that He has set the day when his Son, Jesus Christ, shall return to judge the world in most perfect justice. Every disorder and disaster and distress that we experience declares that invisible reality. God is warning us, before that day of judgment arrives, to prepare for the storm. God is real. His word is in these events. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).“ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD” (Lamentations 3:40).

Consider
| God does not make known his will to us, that the knowledge of it may perish with us; but that we may be his witnesses to posterity, and that they may deliver the knowledge received through us, from hand to hand, (as we say) to their descendants. Wherefore, it is the duty of parents to apply themselves diligently to the work of communicating what they have learned from the Lord to their children. In this manner the truth of God is to be propagated by us, so that no one may retain his knowledge for his own private use; but that each may edify others, according to his own calling, and to the measure of his faith. There is however no doubt, that the gross ignorance which reigns in the world, is the just punishment of men’s idleness. For whereas the greater part close their eyes to the offered light of heavenly doctrine; yet there are those who stifle it, by not taking care to transmit it to their children — John Calvin on Genesis 18:19. |
