Are YOU ready to see Jesus?
Luke 12:35-40 “ “Be
dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like
servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that
when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It
will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.
Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the
table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be
good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the
middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But
understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the
thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You
also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you
do not expect him.” (NIV)
I've been camping out in the Gospels for a few months and
I've had some amazing revelations from passages I've read for over 30 years.
This blog will focus on Jesus’ statement “You also must
be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not
expect him.”
What do you think about most of the time? Yourself or
others? The troubles on your day? The hurts in your past or the hopes of
your tomorrows? How about your Kingdom Service?
Maybe you are in a great place or a not too great place…but…..Have
you considered that Jesus may have you on assignment in a tough job, tough
relationship, or any of a 100 hard places because he wants to toughen you up for
your future Kingdom assignments?
The world is in chaos with at least 40 countries actively
persecuting Christians. Over 14,600 Christians are martyred monthly…Over
200,000 people die without salvation every day....How can you reach out to
a lost soul and share the love of Jesus in that new relationship? If you don't
know what to say, just talk about what Jesus has done in your heart and through your life.Your personal testimony has great power to open closed
hearts.
Time is winding down... We get closer to Jesus’ return….
I say again: Are you ready to see Jesus face to face?
If not, you have some business to do with the Lord….He’s waiting for you! Dr. Alan Keiran
