Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand! Jesus and John taught us to call people to repentance in this way because God knows us humans need it! We tend to get complacent and settled into routines and God wants us to be the servants that are awake and ready. The day will come upon us like a thief in the night and we can’t be found asleep. Nobody knows the day or the hour, but it’s coming. The Bible says there will be scoffers who think “well they’ve been saying from the beginning it’s coming and nothing has happened, so we’ll continue carrying on like always.” They don’t think He’s returning, but they’re wrong. If we knew when Jesus was coming, people would be like oh it’s not in my lifetime so I don’t have to prepare. No! God wants everyone to be saved! That is why He’s waited so long! To him a thousand years is like a day, and vice versa. He has all the time in the world and is very patient in calling us to Him, but when He comes it’ll be sudden and with judgment. Especially today, we have tons of resources available to us if we genuinely want to seek Him. The problem is that many don’t want to. They’re comfortable living their lives, just like in the times of Noah, and don’t believe in God. There are a lot of crazy things going on in the world today, and they’re just the beginning of the labor pains. God tries to get our attention, but we’re often oblivious. Not worried about His return? Well, our lives are but a vapor and you could be dying tomorrow. You don’t know. We all make plans, but things happen. Heart attack, car accident, a trip down some stairs… Anything could take your life and then it’ll be too late. Find God before it’s too late! Or, if you’ve already found Him but strayed, then get right with Him before it’s too late. Are you ready?
