Mark 13:35 (NIV)
35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when
the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight,
or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.
The great Dwight L. Moody used to say, “I never preached a
sermon without thinking that possibly the Lord may come before I preach
another.” Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, the distinguished British clergy-man, said,
“I never begin my work in the morning without thinking that perhaps he may
interrupt my work and begin His own. I am not looking for death. I am looking
for Him.” That is the way a Christian should live his life – in the constant
anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ! If we could live every day as
though it may be the very last one before the final judgment, what a difference
it would make here on earth! But we don’t like to think that way. We don’t like
to think that our carefully made plans, our long-range schemes may be
interrupted by the trumpet of God. Too many people would rather say, “Oh, well,
the end of the world hasn’t come yet, so why think about it – it’s probably a
thousand years away.”
Thought for today:
Am I rapture ready?
