Text: Matthew 24:1-5; 42-43
We’ve heard this many times and maybe even asked it ourselves: “When will the world end?” We can be guaranteed, as believers, that we must stay ready! Especially now, the way things are going. No one knows the day or the hour of Jesus’ return, but God said He’ll give us signs. It’ll be as in the days of Noah. The world is still eating and drinking as if nothing is happening. They don’t see the signs! The world’s end goal is a one-world government! Satan comes to hijack the Word of God, but God’s Word is Truth! We must be watchful! We must stay focused and alert! Be not just hearers of the Word, but doers of the Word. We can’t have desires of the world. We can’t be swayed by the world. No compromising! No lukewarmness! No pretending! No more talking the talk, but not walking the walk! We need to do and be what we were called to do and be. The time is short! We can’t try to GET ready when the time comes. We need to BE ready! There won’t be any time to get ready. The door will be shut! Our goal is to make it home! Let’s not lose our way in this world!
