Read Matthew 24:36-44
36 “No
one knows, however, when that day and hour will come—neither the angels in
heaven nor the Son;y the Father alone knows. 37The coming of the Son
of Man will be like what happened in the time of Noah. 38In the days
before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up to the very
day Noah went into the boat; 39yet they did not realize what was happening
until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the
Son of Man comes. 40At that time two men will be working in a field:
one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. 41Two women
will be at a mill grinding meal: one will be taken away, the other will be left
behind.
42 “Be
on your guard, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come. 43If
the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, you can be sure
that he would stay awake and not let the thief break into his house. 44So
then, you also must always be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an
hour when you are not expecting him.
Think
We’re preparing for Christmas; the set scriptures remind us
that we’re not just talking about the birth of a baby. We’re talking about the coming Christ.
Pray
Lord I sometimes carry on with life as if you did not arrive
and you will not come again. Help my beliefs to influence my actions a little
more.
