Be Ready


2012… Many people think of the movie and think of the Mayan’s predictions. Some believe some not. Some people ridicule at the whole idea of ‘2012 the end of the world’ but in the back of their heads they wonder if it may be true.

These days even among churches there are people studying the bible in and out trying to piece together exactly how Jesus would come again. Many debates are going on, which comes first, rapture, tribulation, etc.  Why spend so much time trying to figure out when the second coming of Jesus is? Why worry about whether the sun will die off, whether the icebergs will melt and drown us all and all others Many people say this or that person is the Beast or the anti-Christ. In truth, we do not really know. Some people devote their time trying to put exactly how the whole situation will be. Some say they want to know so that they can be ready. It is stated clearly in the bible that no one will know when Jesus comes again. No one except for the Father.

In the end, we only need to know one thing. Where are you going at the end of the time? Do you know where you are going? If you do, no matter what happens along the way and as long as you keep in line with that path all you need to do is wait for Jesus to come and take you when the time is right. Being ready in a sense that you have been living according to His ways, you have done whatever you need to do and when Jesus comes and says "let's go" you will not have regrets.

We are put in this time to also fulfill a duty. We need to share the gospel. Let our neighbours know who God is so they too will know where they are going. Sharing the gospel is pretty simple. YOU are the Gospel. If there is Christ in you, Christ can work through you. You will not be doing it alone.

So now let us continue to do what we are put here to do and just wait, be ready for the time.

Revelation 16:15
"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.
Mark 13:32
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Matthew 24:36
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
