Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 28 November 2021 STUDY:
Jesus will come unexpectedly, just like the days of Noah (Matt.
24:37-39). Noah was busy building his ark and warning the people of the coming flood (Gen.5:32 7:5), but they were preoccupied with their own pursuits of life. They refused to heed the warnings of God. What will be the condition of the world when Jesus returns? In the New Testament, Jesus and His disciples make it very clear there will be total depravity, exceeding wickedness and eve apostasy in the church when Jesus returns. It will be an evil day Jesus will be despised and hated by the vast majority of people over the world. Do we see these signs even today?
The stress of the whole passage in Matthew is that we must be ready for Jesus’ coming, because He will come when we do not expect Him. No one knows at what time or during what watch the thief will come, therefore keep on watching. Be ready! Are we prepared in mind and heart? Are we ready for His coming? May He not find us too busy to care, as it was in the days of Noah!
PRAYER: Come Lord Jesus!
