be ready

Mark 13:32-33 (NLT)  
    "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. [33] And since you don't know when they will happen, stay alert and keep watch.

Christians have been trying to predict the second coming of Christ since Christ ascended to heaven. Every prediction so far has been wrong. Eventually, someone at sometime will be right.

It isn’t the calculation that is important, it is the preparedness. Are we ready? Water, dry food, batteries, first aid kit and camping equipment are ready for the “big one” in our earthquake country household. But how do you get ready for Jesus?

You live as a disciple. Disciples are always ready. Those who are learning from Jesus and his Word and applying it in their daily lives are as ready as they will ever need to be. No matter what is happening in the world around you, to be ready is as simple as focusing on Jesus.
