THE STORY OF THE LOST NICKEL

I was told a silly story some time ago. You may have heard it.
A man lost a nickel and was looking for it on the ground.
Another man came along and noticed that the man looking for something.
The second man asked the first man what he was looking for.
The first man said he was looking for a nickel that he had lost.

The second man began to look for the nickel on the ground
In the same vicinity of the first man.
After a time, when the second man could not find the nickel,
He asked the first man where, exactly, he had lost the nickel.
The first man said that he had lost the nickel in another another adjacent place.

The second man then said:
Why are you looking here, if you lost the nickel over there?
The first man said to the second:
Because the light is better over here.

This story, at first glance seems to be absurd.
However, there are times when many of us are caught in such an absurdity.
We are looking for something that cannot be found where we are looking,
But the light seems good.
This is always the tendency of mankind, assisted by the deception of Satan.
He masquerades as an angel of light 
But his light is darkness and leads to death.

Adam and Eve had everything that was good,
But the Serpent convinced them that there was something more.
The light seemed to be better where the serpent was leading.

The Jews in Jesus' day had the light of Old Testament books,
The law of Moses and their traditions,
Which provided more light to them than the revelation of their Messiah.

Today, God has given this generation a completed Scripture,
And a marvelous New Covenant.
However, this generation will have to be in right relationship with Christ Jesus
To correctly interpret The Season Of The Last Generation.
The condition of the heart of each person will determine
If they are in the right place or where the light may seem better.

All the wiles of Satan are currently being employed to deceive this generation.
His False Church is masquerading as an angel of light.
This is his last and final opportunity to subvert the work of Christ Jesus!
But he fails, the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of Christ, Hallelujah!
