” Yes, it will be business as usual right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:30
” If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.” Luke 17:33
Our world goes on day by day. It revolves around the sun and night and day appear as usual. You and I plan our days with our calendars, and we look forward to tomorrow with anticipation. We have jobs to get to, parties to attend, families to take care of and just business as usual as we live our lives in the world. It is in rare instances that we consider the return of Christ Jesus. Our minds and our time are filled with things of the world. We are too busy to consider our Lord and his return. It is just as God intended. He described to us just how Jesus would be revealed. Just as it was in Noah’s time it was business as usual. Our Lord will return in the moment when we least expect it. We do not know the time, but we do know the season. The season is now. The people of the world are living on the edge. The more involvement in worldly activities the more they become like the world. The more they depend upon the earth and its ways the more apt they are to go along with its ways. The time is now that we must pay close attention. We have been warned and some don’t heed the warnings. There are those who love their lives in this world. There are those who don’t believe or have the faith needed to believe in Jesus and his return. There are also those who say they believe, but instead, prove by their actions that they actually believe in the worldly things, and not the spiritual ways of our God. It is my hope that there is nobody who reads this blog who fits into any of these categories. We are to be wise and always prepared. We are to be ready for Jesus to return and any moment. Our lives may be cut short at any instant or Jesus may return next week, either way, we are to be prepared. We are told in Luke 17:33 that anyone who clings to their life in this world will actually lose it. But those who let go of the world and its ways will save their life. Our Lord is talking about eternal life with God in heaven. Where are you in your walk with Jesus? Where is your main focus? Is it on the things of the world or the things of God in heaven? The time is now! Business will go on as usual, but in the twinkling of an eye it will change, and we will be caught up in whatever phase of life we are in. Think of Jesus often! Pray to him constantly! Stay tuned to his station and never turn it off. Stay plugged in to the right source, Jesus Christ, and be saved! It is business as usual. Our business is to stay prepared and be ready! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
