Your Coupon is Expiring

Printed on nearly every grocery store coupon is an expiration date, also known as a “redeem by” date. The word “redeem” actually has many different usages, though they are relative. In the example of redeeming a coupon, it simply means to take advantage of the opportunity to receive an offer or discount before the time expires.

This is certainly a Biblical concept. Consider this: no one will live forever in the flesh. Unless the Lord returns first (1 Thess. 4:15), at some point each of us will die: “...as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” (Heb. 9:27), The question is, what will you do with the time you have?

Paul said, “See then that you walk carefully, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:15-16). The point is, “seize the day!” Be wise and take advantage of the time you have to prepare for eternal life in heaven by coming to the Lord Jesus Christ – and doing His will; for soon your time on earth will expire and it will then be too late.

So then, friends, let me encourage you: do not delay, for your coupon is expiring.
