Are You Ready?

The study of the concern about the so-call “End Times” is important!  Note: this chapter continues the lesson Jesus taught in yesterday’s reading.  However, we must remember Jesus made it clear…in verse 33 that we do not (nor does anyone) know the when.  Yes, He will come again!  He said so!  (The Gospel of John, chapter 14)  And we should believe it!  Mother taught songs and choruses to the children in our country church Sunday School when I was a lad.  The words of one of the choruses asked the question: “Will YOU be ready when Jesus comes?”  Now that does matter!  In verse 31, Jesus makes clear that His word will not be “void” or “empty” – that is, without meaning.  As you ready today, pause to reflect on the words of that children’s song.  Will you be ready?  Pause now to pray and ask the Lord to give you assurance of being ready because you have opened your life to the Lord Jesus, trusting Him as your Savior.
