On Sunday night, 15 year old Jarvis Montague was shot to death just outside his front door off Jamestown Crescent in Rexdale. As we spent over three hours ministering to his mother, father, siblings, neighbors, and friends I wondered about the senselessness of his killing. I left the vigil disturbed by the plague of gun violence on our planet. Then my heart turned to home, yes! the home of the scriptures, to find some solace and hope. I remembered that Jesus said, “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” According to Genesis 6; 5,11, "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually . . .. The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence." It was then my heart was comforted with the thoughts that we must be very, very close to the coming of Jesus for the earth is filling up with violence. This week as we worship let us remember there is comfort in prophecies of the Bible. 4 9
