Scripture
So always be ready. You don’t know the day or time when the Son of Man will come. – Matthew 25:13 ERV
Devotion
The thing we can be sure about is that Jesus will come back. What a glorious and joyful day that will be for those who believe that Jesus is our Savior and Lord.
Anytime I see the word ‘don’t’, the content becomes more interesting to me. Our verse for today says “you don’t know the day or time,” but we are called to “be ready.” To be ready in my world translates to knowing most of the details of the what, where, when, and how. It is that sense of control that makes us feel secure and prepared. I want to know as much as possible.
In his second letter to the church at Thessalonica, Paul writes about what will come. Evil things will happen, and a man of lawlessness will appear. But we don’t get timelines, places, and names. Yet, that is often what we try to get to, to create knowledge based on our own understanding.
I need to learn to live with the unknown and have faith in Jesus Christ. He says He will come, and He will come at His time. My response is one of knowledge that it will happen for sure, not when or how, but just knowledge that it will happen. We must live with peace above understanding and see with the eyes of faith. So Christian, always be ready!
We don’t need to know the details but this we know: When the man of evil appears, he will be killed by the breath of Jesus’ mouth, brought to nothing by Jesus’ appearance. At His time that appearance will be a tremendously joyful sight in our eyes, and we will know that what we know by faith has come to fulfillment.
Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Treasury of David.This work was first published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle’s periodical, The Sword and the Trowel.
Completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885. Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon’s ministry began there, calls this work “Spurgeon’s magnum opus.” Spurgeon’s wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
