Can't believe we are into October, althought the weather reminds me of that today! This whole chapter is a picture of our future. It's amazing that Matthew wrote this so many years ago and we are seeing some of it come to pass RIGHT NOW. Even this week with the earth quakes and tsunamis in other parts of the world
What really struck me was the end of the chapter where we are admonished to live our lives as if the end is tomorrow, or today, but then we are told NO ONE KNOWS THE ACTUAL DAY BUT JESUS!!! I had to ask myself if I was living my life as if the end was eminent ....... and I had to answer 'NO'.
All the things I hold dear and plan and live for would loose their place of priority if I truely believed Jesus was coming for me tomorrow. And yet I know people who really don't even believe Jesus is coming at all.....and that is not me. I think the difference would be and should be that I would take more heed to the people around me and make sure they know who Jesus is and give them the opportunity to choose Him. Especially those I know and love and care for. I wouldn't be thinking about my dirty bathroom or needing to do laundry or.........even worry about sleeping!
Think about it. What would you change??? I know the scripture says we are to live as if He is coming tomorrow and yet as if He isn't coming for a long time. It really reminds you of how short our lives really are and what is important to the Lord.
Who and What are you living for???
