We looked at this passage in church a few weeks ago and it occured to me that I am so underprepared for the second coming. We were asked to think about the preparation we make when friends come over - how we clean our house from top to bottom. Or, when parents visit - the hoovering, washing of bedsheets, cleaning the kitchen, scrubbing pots and pans.... Why don't we put the same amount of effort and urgency in prearing for God's coming?
Preparation is not solely by making sure you don't commit crime. It's not just going to church for a couple of hours on Sunday. Preparation is also about belief and repenting. And if you think that's easy, think again. Ephesians 6:14 onwards: "....belt of truth...breastplate of righteousness...readiness from the gospel of peace....shield of faith...helmet of salvation....sword of the Spirit...be alert and always keep on praying...."
Do think again - are you prepared?
