Judgment and Salvation

The Day of the Lord

Matthew 24:42-47  The Message

^39-44 “The Son of Man’s Arrival will be like that: Two men will be working in the field—one will be taken, one left behind; two women will be grinding at the mill—one will be taken, one left behind. So stay awake, alert. You have no idea what day your Master will show up. But you do know this: You know that if the homeowner had known what time of night the burglar would arrive, he would have been there with his dogs to prevent the break-in. Be vigilant just like that. You have no idea when the Son of Man is going to show up.
^45-47 “Who here qualifies for the job of overseeing the kitchen? A person the Master can depend on to feed the workers on time each day. Someone the Master can drop in on unannounced and always find him doing his job. A God-blessed man or woman, I tell you. It won’t be long before the Master will put this person in charge of the whole operation.

For Reflection

When Christ arrives in your life will you be known as a faithful servant?  When Christ calls you into service will you be prepared?  God intends that you be consistent in the practice of your faith.

Pray

that you will be consistent in the practice of your faith.  Pray for humility.  Pray for courage. Pray to listen to the whispered guidance of God.
