Good Morning Friends,
Have you ever wondered what the Second Coming
of Jesus will be like? You aren’t the first one who has wondered. Jesus dealt
with that question and He provided some hints about what it will be like and
some advice about how to approach it.
“The Son of Man in his day will be like the
lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. …
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son
of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up
to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It
was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and
selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur
rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on
the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the roof of
his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one
in the field should go back for anything. Remember Lot's wife! Whoever tries to
keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. I tell
you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the
other left.’” (Luke 17:24-34)
You won’t have wonder whether or not it has
happened. It won’t be a secret coming. “Like the lightning, which flashes from
one end to the other.”
People will be taken by surprise when He comes.
“As in the days of Noah.”
Some will be ready and some will be left
behind. “One will be taken and the other left.”
Therefore …
Give your life away to Him – don’t try to hold
on to it. “Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his
life will preserve it.” If you try to keep your life for yourself – doing what
you want to do, living for yourself, following your will – when Jesus comes
again you won’t be ready. If you give your life to Him, serve Him and His will –
when He comes you will be ready.
The point is you don’t have to know when He is
coming. You don’t have to make any special preparations as the day gets nearer.
It’s all about having a right relationship with Him every day. Do that, and you
are ready – whatever day He comes.
His, by Grace, Steve
