Do we even consider that Jesus is coming back again? Do we think that with all that the world is seeing today, we need to be prepared and ready for the coming of the Lord?
Jesus says in Matthew 24:42-44, “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: if a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”
We need to keep watch! It is not the time to fall asleep spiritually. It is not the time to drift spiritually from our spiritual walk. It is not the time to walk away from our salvation! Today is the day to wake up and be ready for the coming of Jesus!
We need to be ready! When you get prepared for a trip, you need to have everything in place before you leave. Are we ready for the journey of all eternity? Are we prepared, and are we preparing others for the trip of eternity?
As someone said, “I would rather be ready one day early for the coming of Jesus, than to be one day late!” If Jesus were to come today, or we were to take our last breath today, are we ready to meet Jesus?
If not, ask Jesus to come into your life and forgive you of all your sins today! Jesus is the passport to Heaven! Make sure your passport is stamped and ready for Heaven!
