Watch & pray: We don't know the hour

"When the rapture happens I want to see you up there with Christ... not left behind on Earth."..Daniel Sweet

One simple truth that smoothly leaves the mind of Christians today is that one day, our Lord will come for us. We are sure he will. His Word will surely come to pass. But when? Peter thought it was his generation, James thought same and every generation since the ascension of Christ has expected his coming. And so we are. But the cares of the world and distraction of "making a living" has taken this care from us. But what does Jesus say?

No one knows the day or the time. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows.
So watch out and be ready! You don't know when the time will come.
It is like what happens when a man goes away for a while and places his servants in charge of everything. He tells each of them what to do, and he orders the guard to keep alert.
So be alert! You don't know when the master of the house will come back. It could be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or in the morning.
But if he comes suddenly, don't let him find you asleep.
I tell everyone just what I have told you. Be alert! Mar 13:32-37 (Contemporary English Version)

That day will come. Men, women, boy, girls and babies(a lot of them) will be missing. It will certainly happen. And there is nothing I so pray for than that you and I will be counted as one of those considered missing. So Jesus advises,

Be ready and keep your lamps burning
just like those servants who wait up for their master to return from a wedding feast. As soon as he comes and knocks, they open the door for him.
Servants are fortunate if their master finds them awake and ready when he comes! I promise you that he will get ready and have his servants sit down so he can serve them.
Those servants are really fortunate if their master finds them ready, even though he comes late at night or early in the morning. Luk 12:35-38(CEV)

For each day therefore, let the word of Christ echo in our mind so that our disposition is to look forward to that day and look after (watch) over our soul with fear and trembling so that we may be worthy of his appearing. It will be more devastating for people like us (who are called Christians) if we are caught unguarded.

Like people watching out for movie release, we should watch out for his day even till death because He that will come will come and will not delay, so WATCH.

Happy new month
