I probably spent ten or fifteen minutes earlier today reading
humorous bumper stickers on a spinning rack at a gift shop. I laughed at
just about every one of the forty some stickers and bought three. HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS is going on my locker at work....THINK!...It's Not Illegal Yet... is going on the back of my truck above the URL of these posts, and the third is the topic of this post.....JESUS IS COMING....(LOOK BUSY).
This is alluding to a verse in the 24th chapter of Matthew, the same chapter of which I mentioned in my post of yesterday! I'll give the full five verses here....
"...Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes."
Friends...these are not my words! These are the words of the Bible....and the specific topic is the last days, but the command is to all Christians....in every generation....from every century, for neither do we know when our day will come! Whether it be the Lord's coming or our departing, will we be found in Him....in Christ.....born anew....by grace....through faith....clothed in His righteousness? Various translations render the first words of the 42nd verse....keep watch...or stay awake...or be on the alert. May these be our new year's resolutions if we are so inclined to make some!
