"Learn a lesson from the
fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that
summer is near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know that
he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass
away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but
my words will not pass away." "But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Sometimes we hear the end is near,
the Day of Judgment is coming, and many other warnings about the end of time.
We should listen to Jesus’ advice and realize that no one knows the day or hour
of the Second Coming and it’s not our job as Christians to guess at when it
will come. Instead, we should be preparing for its arrival as if each day is our
last one on earth. We should also be praying for the end to come. After all, when
the Day of Judgment arrives Christ will come with it as well as our opportunity
to spend eternity in the loving presence of God. If we live our lives in love
and service of God and His children, then we have nothing to fear.
What can we do to keep ourselves
grounded in doing God’s Will and not worrying about things that are beyond our
control? Are we preparing ourselves for the end of our lives and spending
eternity with God? Will we be able to honestly tell God we were good and
faithful servants?
O Lord, we want to spend eternity
with you in heaven.
Amen.
