Watch and be ready…

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
–Matthew 24:42

While no one knows the exact hour of the Lord’s return, we do see indications that it is fast approaching. As faithful followers of Jesus, we want to be ready because we just don't know how bad it's going to get until or before the Great Tribulation.

God is not just the forgiving Father; He is also the righteous judge who is holding back His righteous wrath as long as he can. He’s not slow as some consider slowness. He's patient, and he wants all people to come to repentance. The only way to be saved from Him is to be found in Him.

We're not waiting for the Antichrist or the Tribulation. We're waiting for Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath and judgment that is to come. That’s why we live in anticipation of His imminent return. A faithful servant of Jesus is ready to share His word with His people and tell others about Him.

“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
–Matthew 24:44
