A Thought For Today

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." Matthew 24:36-44

I simply have a question today. Something to really think on for awhile. We read here in Matthew that no one except God knows when Jesus will return to earth to gather his followers to him. No one knows. But lets just say you did. What if you knew with absolute certainty that Jesus would return in our lifetime. What if you knew? If you knew that Jesus would be returning soon...what would you change? What would you do differently? Would you change your priorities and what you do from day to day? Would you be a little more bold in your faith? Think about it. What would you change if you knew that Jesus was coming in your lifetime?
