"Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] our Lord is coming." -Matthew 24:42 (AMP)
Over the course of the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of pointing to current events and predictions of the end coming soon. Based on my life experience, there have been many times when some event catches people's attention and causes alarms of the end of the world. When we hear these calls we need to remember that no one knows the date or time that Jesus will return and the world will end.
Jesus told us that no one knows when He will return. We can be assured that one day He will come, but we don't know His exact arrival. As Christians, we may not be able to completely dismiss the events around us, but we do need to act and react appropriately. We should always give attention to Christ and the possibility of His return. We should also be cautious of those that claim to know the exact date of Christ's return. Finally, we should be active in our sharing of God's love. We shouldn't just ride out our time, thinking our actions and efforts (or lack of efforts) have little consequence because of an impending return. We must live each day to the fullest by sharing God's love and grace! We need to make each day matter!
No one knows when Christ will return. Don't give up! Make each day matter!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for sending Jesus to save me from my sin. Help me to make each day matter, whether Jesus returns tomorrow or years from now. Through Christ Jesus I pray, amen.
