Ready.
Jesus will return some day. He spoke confidently about that event. He warned all that it was imperative to be ready. There are dire consequences for those who are not ready. What does it mean to be ready for Jesus’ return? It means to be prepared. It means we anticipate his return. It means each day to be confident about his return. It means to work hard as we wait. It means to treat others well. It means to be concerned about meeting the needs of others even as we take care of our own needs. It means that day to day we live with an awareness that today could be the very day that Jesus returns. Jesus will return some day.
