ARE YOU READY FOR THE LORD?

ARE YOU READY FOR THE LORD?


ONE of these days
The LORD is coming back


Are you READY for him?


Chances are=he will
COME to an unknown person/or people
And at an UNKNOWN TIME
And unknown situation
Just like the FIRST TIME


“STAY AWAKE!=for you do NOT KNOW
On which day
Your Lord will come” Matthew 24:42


Stay awake=are you READY
For the LORD?
Are you ready
For his SECOND COMING?


“Now=brothers and sisters=
ABOUT times and dates
We do not need
To WRITE to you


For you know very well
That the DAY
Of the Lord
Will come=like a thief
In the night” 1 Thessalonians 5:2


“But the DAY of the Lord
Will come like a thief” 2 Peter 3:10


WHO is ready for
A thief?=NONE of us
And no one
Will be ready
For the SECOND COMING
Of the Lord


All human beings
Must LEARN to be attentive=
We human beings=are LAX
In paying close attention
We are=EASILY DISTRACTED


The life of a CHRISTIAN
Invites us to see
Our surroundings=to SEE
Our neighbors=deeply and clearly
With LOVE


We MISSED the coming
Of the LORD ONCE=
Will we MISS him again?
Are your ready for the second
COMING of the LORD?


NONE of us know
When the Lord
IS coming back


The JEWISH people missed
Him the first time


It is entirely POSSIBLE
That the Christian people
Will miss him TOO


For=IF you look around
Our country=LOOK around our world
It does not look a TIME
When anyone is READY


“Sow righteousness for yourselves
REAP the fruit
Of UNFAILING LOVE


And break up
Your unplowed ground
For it is TIME
To seek the LORD
Until he comes


And SHOWERS his righteousness
On you” Hosea 10:12


Dear Lord=we PRAY=that
You help us BE READY
For your SECOND COMING


And LIVE with love=
Forgiveness=and FAITHFULNESS
Until that TIME


In Jesus' name=UNTIL the SECOND COMING of the LORD
