When is...the Time That is Least Expected?

So you, too, must keep watch! For you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would keep watch and not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected. Matthew 22:42-44

Are you ready for Christ's return?...the Son of Man will come when least expected. Are you expecting Him...or are you thinking that He's not coming back anytime soon so you'll just live and let live for now?  When is the time that is least expected? Remember how it was in Noah's time? People were just living...and likely ignoring Noah's warnings to change their ways.
                                           Looking for Noah's Ark. 

     When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah's day. In those days before the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat. People didn't realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes. Matthew 22:37-39.

What will you be doing when Christ returns? Will you be enjoying banquets, parties and weddings? There is nothing wrong with enjoying good food and fellowship of others...but we need to be ready spiritually and attentive to the Lords commands. Have you asked for forgiveness recently? Do you love God and your neighbors as yourself?

Prayer ~ Dear Jesus, we had a great celebration of Your birthday yesterday.  We love You and are waiting patiently for Your Return--and look forward to a great Banquet with You in Heaven.
