Selah People' ~ Be Ready!

Today's Scripture:
You also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Luke: 12:40

No one knows exactly when Jesus will come back to the earth. The Bible does say he will come back, but it does not give a specific date and time. With no specific date and time, you and I need to be ready all the time. We must be ready and take the plunge into the life that He would want for us today.

When Jesus wanted to make sure people remembered what he had to say, he would make his point by illustrating it in a story. To prepare his followers for his return after his death and resurrection, he told a story about a servant who waited for his master to return. When the master returned, the servant was there waiting to immediately open the door for him. Although the servant didn't know the date or time of his master's return, he was prepared at every moment to welcome his master back, whether late into the night or early in the morning.

You can prepare right now for the moment when Jesus comes back.

Make your life a place where you would feel proud to welcome Jesus.

Choose music that you would be comfortable listening to with Jesus. Talk to your friends, family and neighbors we talked about in our sermon yesterday in a way that honors them and shows love and a way that would please Jesus if he overheard the conversation. Consider how you might be affected if Jesus were right by your side as you go about your daily routine. Picture him by your side as you flip the channel or you do that google search on the Internet. Let your attitude and your choices indicate that you are ready for his return. Be ready every second of the day to say "I hope Jesus comes right now."

Selah people' and friends live your life ready! Make every moment of your life be a welcome sight in the eyes of God. Remember, we all have fallen short of his glory even your pastor. Do not lose hope repent, lift it up to him and know beyond doubt that He will forgive and you will be ready. He will be back here before you know it!

"Peace and certainty that Jesus will return and reassurance that today we are ready. Grab someone and tell them how much you love them and how much God loves them."
