“Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.” -- Revelation 16:15
Jesus is coming again, and this time he will bring judgment that is true and just. He spoke of His second coming in Matthew 24:42 with similar words, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." Yet, when he comes most people will be as much surprised as those in New York City on September 11, 2001 because they won't be watching. Because of wrong priorities and pursuits their spiritual condition will be embarrassing... they will be unprepared and asleep.
How is your spiritual life today my friend? Do you know Christ as your Savior? If you do, are you living a life that will be pleasing to him when he returns? Can you say without reservation that you are waiting for his return with expectation? Remember the words of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:4, 6: "But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief... So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober". Jesus is coming... so stay awake my friends!!
