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 people will have the opportunity to follow him (see 2 Peter 3:9 ). Before Christ’s return we have time to live out our beliefs and to reflect God’s love as we relate to others.
People who are ready for their Lord’s return are (1) not hypocritical, but sincere (Luke 12:1 ); (2) not fearful, but ready to witness (Luke 12:4-9 ); (3) not worried, but trusting (Luke 12:25-26 ); (4) not greedy, but generous (Luke 12:34 ); (5) not lazy, but diligent (Luke 12:37 ). May your life be more like Christ’s so that, when he comes, you will be ready to greet him joyfully.
