- Are you ready for Christ's return?
- Mark 13 gives signs for His return, and He says, "Watch out!", "Be on Guard!", "Stay Alert!"
- He says, "No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen" but "Be Alert"
- In other words, be prepared and be ready!
- Are you living your life as if He could return at any moment.
- Would He find you faithful?
- The way to prepare is to " love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ (Matt. 22:37)
- Do you love Him this way?
- Is that reflected in your actions and attitude? If so, how?
- Does your relationship with Him affect your how you think and talk?
- Jesus also says, "equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matt.22:39)
- Seems simple, right? Love God and Love others...with everything you've got!
- Put God first and then put others ahead of yourself...their needs ahead of yours.
- Prefer others
- Honor others.
- Is there someone that you need to forgive?
- Is there something you need to confess?
- Is there an attitude you need to change?
- All of this is preparation for Jesus' return.
- Check out your own heart and attitude today?
- Be ready!
- Let Him find you faithful.
- He is looking for people who are ready now, because those are the people that He can use now.
- Have a great Wednesday!
