Ready or Not, He’s Coming

Did you play the game, Hide and Seek, when you were a child? The familiar, “Ready or not, here I come” warns the person who is hiding to be ready.

Did you know that the Lord gives us a, “Ready or not, here I come” that is not child’s play? It is a serious warning that Jesus is coming and we need to be ready.

Revelation 1:5-7 records the warning. “Behold, He is COMING with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.”

Jesus is coming…again. The word, “amen” in verse 7 means there’s no discussing it. It’s happening. We will either be ready for Christ’s appearing because we’ve repented of our sins or Jesus will come and find us in our sin.

If you’re not ready for Christ’s coming, respond to His gift of salvation today. (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, and Romans 10:8-11) Repent of your sins. Confess Jesus as Lord. Receive His gift of forgiveness and the Holy Spirit. Today is your opportunity. Prepare to meet Jesus. Ready or not, He’s coming.

Lord Jesus, COMING KING, as You came to earth once, You are coming again. Thank You for cleansing us of our sin so we are ready to meet You. Stir the hearts of the unsaved to realize that ready or not, You are coming.
