SENSE OF URGENCY

In Luke 12:35-40, Jesus clearly explains what every believer must do. First, the believer must be ready for Christ’s return. The believer must always be spiritually ready, for there will be no time to get ready after He comes. Secondly, the believer must be watching at all times in anticipation of Christ’s return. Verse 40 says, “You must also be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

If a huge snow storm was coming, you would prepare. You would get enough food and supplies to last several days. You would watch the weather to see exactly when the storm is coming and how long the storm is expected to last.

If a hurricane was heading for your home, you would prepare. You would watch the weather to see if the hurricane was going to hit in your area. You would find out exactly how strong the storm was going to be. If necessary, you would board up the windows. You would take every precaution to protect your family and belongings.

As Christian believers, we must maintain a sense of urgency about the second coming of Christ. We must constantly be ready and watching for Christ’s return. Are you ready? Have you asked Jesus into your heart? Are you watching? Have you become complacent? Are you telling others about Jesus?

God Bless.
