TO BE READY FOR JESUS COMING, YOU MUST LIVE IN EXPECTATION OF HIS RETURN.

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: TO BE READY FOR JESUS COMING, YOU MUST LIVE IN EXPECTATION OF HIS RETURN.

Luke 12.

“Blessed are those slaves whom the master shall find on the alert” (12:37). The homeowner should have been expecting the arrival of the thief. So, Jesus says, “You too, be ready” (12:40).

If you’re expecting a guest, especially an important guest, you live differently than if you are not expecting anyone.
imagine how you would get ready if a President announced that he would be coming to spend the night.
Your house would be spotless. the beds would be made. You might even put a fresh coat of paint on some of the walls. You would want your yard to look presentable. You might buy some flowers to plant. You would want things to be clean and neat because you were expecting the President.

If you’re expecting the King of kings, how should your life look? Would you have been comfortable if He had come back during your activities this past weekend?

Are there books or magazines or videos that you need to get rid of before He comes to your home?
Do you watch TV shows where you would be mortified if the Savior knocked on your door while they were on?

Jesus says that we should be ready immediately to open the door to him when he comes and knocks (12:36). We shouldn’t have to yell, “Just a minute,” while we shut off the TV and hide a bunch of embarrassing stuff in the closet.

So to be ready for Christ’s return, make sure that He is your Master; be involved in serving Him all day every day; and, live as if you expect His soon coming.

At this point, Peter asks whether the Lord is addressing this teaching to the twelve or to everyone else as well. Jesus’ answer is indirect, but in effect He says that while the teaching applies especially to them (since they have been given much), it also applies to everyone in proportion to how much they have been given.

LET US PRAY
IN JESUS NAME, YOU AND ME WILL NOT MISS HEAVEN WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUND.
