Are You Ready

“You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Luke 12:40

Christ’s return is certain but the time is not known, so it is important to be prepared at all times. I have always heard people say that they are going to start to church next week as they want to begin serving God, and know that they are a sinner. Many times some do start going to church and get saved, however many times these people keep putting off the most important thing they will ever do in their lives. This is such a gamble as no one knows when Christ will return, and they are taking a chance on how they will spend all eternity. I have heard pastors speak on the end of time, and the signs that the Bible gives us telling us about the fulfillment of scripture, and that most of them are now fulfilled. These warnings are important, but these are man’s interpretations and not God’s, as only He knows when He is coming back. But the important thing to remember is that we must be ready. We are accustomed to being prepared in almost all things we do. We prepare ourselves for an exam at school. We prepare ourselves for our careers. We prepare ourselves to take care of our families. Everything we do in life we spend some time getting ready and preparing ourselves for. However when it comes to preparing ourselves for our future, by asking ourselves “how will we spend our eternity”, many times we do not plan and get ourselves ready. We need to begin preparing ourselves and be ready at all times for the most important thing that will ever happen to us. I would encourage each of you to get yourself prepared as Christ could return even today or tomorrow. Will you be ready? I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there is.
