Matthew 24:36 says, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” This is not a difficult verse to interpret. There is only one person in the universe who knows when the end will come. This passage goes on to say,”Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
The important message is to pursue the wonderful relationship offered to us through faith in Jesus. We can live ready at all times for His return. I am looking forward to studying the book of Revelation with you over the next few weeks. We will be informed, inspired, and drawn to Jesus as we learn more about Him and His plans for our future.
God promises a blessing on those who focus their attention on this last book of the Bible: “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” (Revelation 1:3).
ONE DAY TO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS
We will end our worship experience on Sunday with the wonderful opportunity to help hurting people in our community. Please consider giving one day’s worth of your rent or mortgage payment to help people in our community to have a roof over their head. Last year nearly 2,000 families were helped by the generosity of the faith community. Let’s see what we can do to help others in need at this season of life.
I am looking forward to what God has in store for us!
Pastor Rick
