Here is, perhaps, an all-too familiar scene: you have left your teenaged children at home while you and your spouse attend an event together. You wrote down specific instructions on chores they were expected to do while you’re out, and that when the chores are finished, they can play. But what actually happens? They immediately play and forget all about the chores until they receive your text at the end of the night: “Coming home.” Now they’re in a panicked state as they hurry around to get the house in order before the door opens.
Jesus has left us with similar instructions; He’s told us what to do, and when He returns, He wants to see that we haven’t procrastinated or forgotten! In this message, we'll hear the Word of our Lord on how we can get ready for His return.
