ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 3RD DECEMBER 2023.
The state of insecurity in our nation has made many communities to sleep with one eye open while watching out for attackers. By so doing, some have been able to repel disasters on their communities. Here in this passage, we are called upon to be watchful for the second return of Jesus Christ, which shall be a day of judgment.
Instead of engaging in speculations about the timing of His return, we are to be awake and ready at all times. Jesus tells us why it is necessary to be watchful. The first is that the actual day is a secret(v.36). No prediction will ever get it right. Second, the day will come as a surprise(vv. 37-39), just as the flood of Noah’s day.
Third, it will be a day of separation (vv. 40-41), when Jesus will separate His people from the wicked forever. Therefore, we are to be watchful and ready, especially as await the second coming of Christ(vv. 42-44).
Beloved, you don’t need to know when He is coming; you only need to know that you are ready. And readiness consists of having the right relationship with God! You must be born again. Then get to work; be about your Master’s business.
Remember, the day is closer now than it was when you woke up today. Whether you get ready and are watchful or not, Jesus will come back!
PRAYER: Lord, help me to be ready and to be found watchful of Your return, Amen.
