We spend so much time preparing for birthdays, weddings, careers, retirement, and tomorrow's plans, but how much time are we spending preparing for eternity? The Bible reminds us that Jesus Christ is coming again. The question is not whether we can predict the day or the hour, but whether we are living in a way that honors Him.

Matthew 24:44 (KJV) declares:

“Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

Jesus is coming again, and no one knows the exact day or hour. This is not a message meant to create fear; it is a call to awaken our spirits, examine our hearts, and make sure our relationship with God is genuine.

ARE YOU READY, OR ARE YOU JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS?

We can attend church every Sunday, sing in the choir, preach the Word, serve in ministry, and know Scripture—but are we truly living for Christ?

Are we forgiving those who have hurt us? Are we walking in repentance? Are we showing love, practicing obedience, and seeking God's will? Are we living with eternity in mind, or have the distractions of this world made us spiritually complacent?

Matthew 25:1–13, the parable of the ten virgins, reminds us of the importance of being prepared. When the bridegroom arrived, not everyone was ready. Some had prepared, while others discovered too late that they were not ready to enter.

You cannot borrow somebody else's relationship with God. You must cultivate your own!

HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR HIS RETURN?

• Repent sincerely. Turn away from sin and return to God.
• Accept Jesus Christ. Put your faith in Him as Lord and Savior.
• Stay spiritually alert. Do not allow the world to distract you from God's truth.
• Live what you believe. Let your faith be reflected in your actions.
• Love others. Show compassion, forgive, and walk in humility.
• Remain faithful. Keep trusting God even when the world encourages compromise.

2 Peter 3:11 (KJV) asks an important question about how we ought to live in light of the coming day of the Lord.

The return of Jesus should influence how we live today. We are not called to sit in fear, speculate about dates, or judge who will be saved. We are called to be faithful, share the Gospel, and live prepared.

JESUS IS SOON TO COME! WILL YOU BE READY?

One day, earthly titles, possessions, accomplishments, and recognition will no longer matter. What matters is where we stand with God.

Don't wait until tomorrow to surrender what God is calling you to surrender today. Don't let pride keep you from repentance. Don't let the pleasures of this world cause you to forget eternity.

🔥 THE QUESTION IS NOT JUST, “WHEN IS JESUS COMING?” THE QUESTION IS, “IF HE CAME TODAY, WOULD I BE READY?”

Get your house in order. Get your heart right with God. Strengthen your faith and remain steadfast in His Word.

Jesus is coming again. Live ready, stay faithful, and keep your eyes on the King! 🙏🏽✝️👑
