Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44 – Our chapter today is one filled with Jesus informing His disciples then and now of what was to come in the end times. Many can read through a chapter like this and feel overwhelmed with all the details and even walk away discouraged because the events of the end times are confusing to them. Know even for me, someone who has studied this for years and even done devotions over Revelation and Daniel many times, it still causes me to put my thinking cap on. While certainly going into the deeper aspects of this chapter are important for we see Jesus put great emphasis on this, let this verse we’ve selected above be what we focus on today. We must be ready. Jesus made it clear what we’ll see on the way to His return and even warned us of many things. There will be wars, lawlessness, and evil. Many will seek to deceive us from following Jesus. While all such things are important to know, knowledge without action in this topic is worthless. Jesus is telling His followers to be ready for His coming. He is coming at a day, hour, and second we cannot know or expect. He also is not wanting to find us lazy with the great commission when He comes. Jesus may come in 20 years, 20,000 years, or in 20 seconds, we do not know, but regardless how ready are you? If Jesus came today would He find you faithful or living in sin? Maybe yesterday and the day before would not have been good days for you to have Jesus come, but we don’t have to make today and tomorrow that same way. Live in such a way today that would welcome Jesus and that He’d be blessed by on the day of His arrival. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3346
