Many Christians are declaring that with the shape our world is in Jesus surely is coming soon. We talk about the crazy weather, the wars, and the multitude of natural disasters as we shake our heads at the wonder of it all.
BUT
There is no frantic study of the Bible or turning off of the television.
There is no change of life, no lengthening of our time in prayer, no reaching out to the lost or running after those who have turned from the faith.
We go on as before living our lives as if we did not just say...
He must be coming back soon.
The fact that we know this makes the lack of dramatic change in our lives all the more tragic.
Yes, Jesus is coming soon and we need to take a biblical assessment of our lives and repent.
He will not overlook our willful ignorance, nor our blatant sin, nor our apathy in the face of His coming.
But He is good to have told us in advance the signs of His coming and even now His Spirit is urging us to make ready.
It is His will that we all be saved.
"People get ready Jesus is coming soon we'll be going home!" Crystal Lewis
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matt 24:37-39
