Ready or not! Here I come!!

Matthew 24: 44

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

 

I was trying to think this morning, the number of slogans that use the word “ready”…..

READY to use—READY to eat—Let’s get READY to rumble—READY to serve—Are you READY for some football—READY or not—I was born READY—READY for anything

 

Are you ready for anything?

I mean, Jesus could come back at any time.

I wonder how many people, won’t be ready for that moment in history?

 

Our culture would much rather get READY for some football—than they would the return of Christ.

Matthew says in this Gospel account….. “So you also must be…. ready….”

 

Those words seem so insistent.

And yet, I believe many people will find themselves unprepared (not ready), when that time comes.

 

They’ve been talking about the return of Jesus for centuries—but one day it’s going to happen.

Some folks will be ready, and others will find they waited too long, to make eternal preparations
