Jesus said : Just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of man. —Luke 17:26. Jesus was referring to the peo- ple’s way of life. (Matt. 24:37- 39) The majority of the people in Noah’s day did not show in- terest in God, let alone endeavor to please him. What had distract- ed them? Nothing extraordinary. Eating, drinking, and marrying —things that are normal aspects of life. The real problem was that “they took no note,” as Jesus said. Like Noah and his family, we have much to do every day. We need to make a living and to take care of ourselves and our family. That can occupy a large portion of our time, energy, and resources. We also share in the ministry, prepare for and attend Chris- tian meetings, and keep spiritu- ally strong by personal study and family worship. Surely, keeping the weight we have to carry to a minimum, as well as avoiding tak- ing on any unnecessary burden, is vital if we are to run the Christian race to the finish. w11 9/15 4:4, 5
