Come Shortly Unto Me

"Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me."  II Timothy 4:9.  The apostle Paul writes this statement to his "son in the faith."  I Timothy 1:2.  Paul is at the end of life, and he desires to see Timothy.  We are all coming to the end of life.  I want you to consider this statement as coming to Christ.  All must  come to the Lord Jesus Christ to receive God's salvation.  Wherever we are in life at this present moment, we need to come to Christ.  The opportunity to come can be gone in an instant.  Life is not certain, and death can take us at any moment.  Life makes no promises to us.  We must come with diligence.  We must understand the urgency of coming.  We must give thought to the world beyond this present world.  Our soul is our most priceless possession.  Only by coming to Christ can we secure our soul.  Let us not delay counting on some future moment to come, but let us come shortly.  We must understand the impact of coming, and also the impact of not coming.  Paul knew that life was going to pass in a moment.  Timothy did not have much time to come to see him.  Let us apply this same thought process in our coming to Christ.
