Ready or Not, He Will Come!
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, we don't hear a lot about the return of Christ. As a matter of fact, I've heard people say that Jesus could not return today because the church is not ready for His return. "Could not" sounds like "not expecting" to me.
Readiness is a matter of perspective. The church in America does not necessarily look like the church in the whole earth. God always has people who love him, serve him, and are expecting his return.
The bottomline is what Jesus said, "Be ready!" The real issue is: What does "ready" look like?
