Be Positioned Ready!

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.

 

Today starts a brand new week.

Many people expect things to go just as they did last week—good or bad.

Most of you expected the Packers to win last night—and they did.

 

At some point in our lives, or in a generation to come, Jesus will return for His bride—the church.

People will rise in the morning, and expect their day to go just as the one before.

 

But something will be different about this day—it won’t be as normal as the day before.

Jesus will have returned, and no one would have really expected for this day to  come—but it will have.

 

Today, some of you will get the kids ready for a new school day.

Folks are busy getting their yards and homes ready for the winter—but few, are truly getting ready for the return of Christ.

 

If Jesus would have come back last night—I would have been ready—in part, because I was in the best place I could be—in church, with other worshippers,

I want to position myself, in the best way possible.

I’m getting ready for Jesus to come back, and I expect Him to keep His promise—because He’s never, ever lied.

 

I don’t want to be in the wrong place when Jesus comes back.

Like grocery shopping or at Fleet Farm on a Sunday morning—when I could have  been worshipping the One true God.

 

Today I’m getting ready—especially when I know, He could return at any hour…
