Bible Reading

The Day and Hour Unknown

Mark 13.24-37

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’

Waiting, waiting, advent is a time of waiting for and getting ready for … Christmas I hear you say.  Well that’s very true, but also because we know that Jesus will return again.  Just as no-one knew that Jesus was going to be born when he was born in Bethlehem (well maybe Mary & Joseph did after all they both were visited by Angels!!!); we do not know when Jesus will return, so we need to be ready.  If Jesus returned this afternoon – would you be ready?  What might you need to do to be ready for His return?  Perhaps say sorry to someone, or be closer to Jesus by praying or reading the Bible?

Prayer

Jesus, we know that you will return at some point, but we do not know when.  Help me to stay close to you, by talking with you each day, and doing the things you would want me to do, so that I will be ready.  Amen.
