"Blessed are those servants whom the master,when he comes,will find watching." Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
(from Luke,Chapter 12:37,40).
People who read their Bibles know that our Lord's return,a second Advent, is written of repeatedly.What is also mentioned repeatedly is that no man knows the specific time and date He will return....
Sadly,man in his arrogance has over the centuries set dates for Jesus' return,only to be proven wrong time and time again. However,the Bible makes it very clear that we are to be watchful and ready for His "second coming". There will be signs and indicators that 'the end of days' is near. Think of the Parable of the Ten Virgins as one example. Are we watching what is happening in the world around us?
We know from reading our Bibles that before His Return the world will be increasingly unsafe and corrupt. Consider this: have we gotten better or worse as a society in regards to moral and religious issues? You only have to be minimally aware of the world around you to see how immoral and debased this country and world has become.
Perhaps the best question to ask ourselves is, are we ready spiritually for His return? What about our loved ones,especially our children? Are they? Are you doing anything to help those who aren't? These are just a few of the questions we need to ask ourselves as professed followers of Jesus.
Pray, study His Word, be watchful,and importantly,walk the talk of your faith in Jesus.
