Tell them the what you know, but do not listen to what they say. Do not give them time to tell you their madness, their no sense; even they do not know the foolishness of their words. Give heed to men of God when they speak, but do not what they do in their wickedness. Stand on, and in the faith.

My topic today depicts the scenario posed by the life we live. I am glad that as the journey progresses, with times changing, we are still given parables that relate to our generation and times; so that many may be saved. The kingdom of God can be likened to a Train destination.

The Parable
The earth may be likened to the departure station. Each passing moment is resembles a single coach; calling at least some to hope into the train of salvation. Some do realise and hope in, but some are occupied with the events that are happening at the train station, but not within the train itself. What they do not realise is that its only at a certain time that the train master shall show up and shut the doors of the train such that no new passengers will be allowed in. What a day of wrath it shall be for those outside of the train!

Outside of the train, there are juggler's, clowns and magicians; musicians, actors and actresses, all these are deceitfully deceiving and using up the time of those who have not yet hoped in to the train. Outside of the train there is joy and happiness; or is it joy at all, is it hapiness? This is treachery, for those enjoying the passing times will not gnash in eternal times. The reverse is true.

Why won't you just hope in, there are men-pleasers out there, the train will be departing any time soon, all you ought to do is to jump in, the train master welcomes you!

You who are inside the train, do not be attracted by the sound of the outsiders; the shouting, the sighs of dancing, the sound of joy, its all thin air. For in a split second, those inside shall be singing praises while thos left outside will be wailing and chanting words of regret. My brothers and sisters stay strong inside.

Let not what is outside attract your eyes, yes, do not look outside at all, concetrate with the approaching departure. Do not let what is inside infiltrate wha is inside the train, but let what you say and preach reach those outside, that they may come inside.

Preach do not tire, Sing do not faint; for in a due season the Train Master shall be calling out you to fasten your seatbelts before he starts the train!

Its a pity that some are standing so near to the entrance; it is not enough for you ought to work within the train, no delay shall be tolerated at the appointed time. When the Son of God shall come in a cloud, he shall repay those inside the train.

Come inside my brothers, come inside my sisters; for outside there is no life! This is the parable of the Train Station.

The Explanation
This world will come to an end. It is real. We have a time now to start the work of the Lord; its not about justifying your works, or doing what pleases the body; its about being a patient waiter, not being distracted by the things around the station. Do not build anything. WAIT FOR CHRIST. For the wicked, it seems to be laziness, but that is the right attitude. For Christ wants us to wait and not be occupied with profane things. In Jesus Christ's Name, Amen!
