THOUGHTS
Are You
Ready For Company
The guest will soon begin
to arrive for the holidays, but have you ever really thought about what all you
do to get ready for someone to visit your home?
Do you clean the house
from top to bottom? Maybe even buy new towels and linens or pay someone to
shampoo the carpet? What about that unfinished remodeling project? Would that
finally get done? We haven’t even talked about what food you’re going to serve
or what needs to be done in the yard!
Most of us would feel like
we needed to do something to get ready for an important person to visit our
home. But what if that person was Jesus?
What would you need to do
to get ready if He were to return today?
If we have urgency about
getting our house ready for company, shouldn't we have an even greater sense of
urgency about being prepared for Christ’s return?
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.
Are you ready?
I love you all,
Tim
