Matt. 24: 36-44
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[e] but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour[f] your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
I'm sure we're all familiar with the signs of the end times. We can all agree that we are truly living in the Last Days...however, the often neglected but necessary question to ask is...what happens to you? Think with me, if Jesus were to come back today, what would happen to you?
We don't think about this often, this is taken for granted, or we're so caught up in the signs, we fail to see the condition of our own hearts. Listen, Jesus is coming back, and He's coming for those in anticipation. The bible says that God closed the ark door and then the floods came. I always wondered, how long was Noah and his family finished with the ark before God closed the door? Was God trying to be merciful to those who didn't help.
See, judgment didn't come until Noah was finished. Could it be that God is waiting on us to 'finish'. You know, what if God is simply waiting for us to finish. What were the last words Jesus said on the cross...'It is finished...'
What are you going to do about the future of your soul? Don't let time be an enemy.
