Get Ready!

Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you must also be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him. (Matthew 24:42-44)

Many folks have house monitoring systems, anti-theft devices for their cars, even security apps on their phones. Yet I wonder how many are really secure when it comes to their personal future. The bible is clear as to the return of Christ and the final judgment. What we do not know is the time or day. Just as we protect ourselves and our families from an unexpected visit from a stranger, we all need to be prepared for the return of our Lord and Savior. Those not ready will be shocked indeed! How many of us would recognize Him if He came today? Are we ready? Are we anticipating His return? Are we looking forward to it? To some, it will be a welcomed surprise . . . To others it will be devastating nightmare that never ends.
