Matt. 24

Do you think it is possible that Jesus will return today?  If not, then why do you think Jesus told his disciples 2000 years ago to "be ready"? 

I believe that Jesus was specifically answering the disciples questions in vs. 3.  First of all Jesus answers the question of when will the events of verse 2 happen.  Most scholars agree that Jesus was primarily describing the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The second question deals with His second coming and the end of the age.

Obviously Jesus has not come back yet, but notice the instruction for the disciples in BOTH instances was the same.  He said, "be ready" and "be careful to be doing what you should".  It is possible that Jesus will return today.  Are you ready?  Are you doing what you would want to be doing if you knew it was today?

Live strong.
