The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. Luke 12:46 NIV
Christ’s return at an unexpected time is not a trap, a trick by which God hopes to catch us off guard. In fact, God is delaying his return so more will have an opportunity to follow Christ. During this time before his return, we have the opportunity to live out our beliefs and to reflect Jesus’ love as we relate to others.
People who are ready for their Lord’s return are: {1} not hypocritical, but sincere; {2} not fearful, but ready to witness; {3} not anxious, but trusting; {4} not greedy, but generous; {5} not lazy, but diligent. Is your life growing more like Christ’s so that when he comes, you will be ready to greet him joyfully?
