In my job I meet up with a lot of people, and so whenever I go to a meeting I always go prepared…with a book.
Because sometimes people are late…or have to cancel last minute… or sometimes just don’t show up at all.
So I go prepared, always with a book so I’ve got something to read while I wait.
Did you know Jesus spoke a lot about being prepared?
Not prepared in case someone doesn’t show up. But prepared for when someone will – Himself!
Jesus promises to return one day to make all things new.
But we need to be prepared for that.
Not having something to read when someone fails to show for a meeting is frustrating.
But not being prepared for when Jesus comes back will be far more serious.
So be prepared. Find out who He is, what He’s done, and what He’s coming back to do so that you’re ready.
