Are you Ready for the Coming of Jesus? 1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Re 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Re 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. Four times we are told by three separate writers that Jesus is coming as a thief. Albert Barnes notes, “A thief comes without giving any warning, or any indications of his approach. He not only gives none, but he is careful that none shall be given. It is a point with him, that, if possible, the man whose house he is about to rob shall have no means of ascertaining his approach until he comes suddenly upon him. This is designed evidently to admonish men to watch, or to be in readiness for his coming --since, whenever it would occur, it would be at a time when men were not expecting him.” Are you ready for the Coming of Jesus? Are you watching for His Coming? Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
