No, not a reference to the thrid instalment of The Lord of The Rings.
But what if Christ returns today?
Will i want to be found complacent?
Will i want to be caught doing what i'm doing right now?
Will i still be looking for the right person to spend my life with?
Will i miss opportunities to gather people with me?
Will i be disqualified?
Having heard what was spoken yesterday, I must admit that it's not my foremost thought to think that Christ might return today. But it did leave me pondering. Usually, what i do is determined by my immediate circumstances; i eat when i'm hungry, i bathe when there's a need to ( and i need that everyday, mind you). What about long-term? What about eternity? Sure, i've given eternity a thought or two, and it seems like a distant idea that the entry might be today.
In light that the unexpected becomes expected, there must be a focus-shift in thoughts, where it overflows to my actions. To live my life, (as posited by P.Tiak)
- being alert and self-controlled
1 Thessalonians 5:6
- building each other up
and sharing with those who have no hope
1 Thessalonians 5:12-14
- and sharing with those this same hope
Colossians 1:27
The question is Am i ready?
