Are you ready?

Matthew 24:36 - 41 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

If the Lord were to come today, this very instant, would you be ready? Were you doing anything last week for which you would have been regretful if He decided to come at that very moment?

What our Lord is telling us here is that we need to be on our guard. He is coming and no one knows the time or place. Everyone will be going on with their lives, like in the days of Noah, when all of a sudden He will show up to remove His church from the Earth. Do you want to be one of the people taken up, or  do yo want to be one of the people left in the field?
