This week’s Bible reading is from Matthew 24:36-44
When is Jesus coming back?
Uhhh. I don't know
No, really. Isn’t there some way to predict that it is coming soon?
What about all the stuff going on in the world. Isn’t Jesus coming back
really soon?
Uhhh. I don't know
You’re not being helpful at all. What about those books that talk
about all kinds of ‘end-of-the-world’ things that say that they come
right out of the Bible. Isn’t Jesus bound to come back soon? I mean, the
books say that it’s coming soon. When is Jesus coming back?
Uhhh. I don't know
Seriously, What kind of help are you? Is Jesus coming back at all? Isn't there some way I can be sure about things?
Uhhh. I don't know
So what should I do?
Keep awake. Do the things that Jesus wants you to do. Love God. Love
everyone else. Because about that “when is Jesus coming back?” stuff – Uhhh. You don't know either.
