Are we ready?

“You also must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” Luke 12:40

We always live as if there will be a next day awaiting us. But what if it never comes? 3 and a half months has since passed with numerous earthquakes. Just this week alone in America, there were reports of about 30 hurricanes and it was also raining hail stones. Not to mention the situation in Middle East has never been messier than before. Morality level has dipped so much that it has become a drag to read the paper. In the Bible, Matthew 24 lists down the signs of the end time. As of now, many signs have been witnessed by this generation. Just as the dark clouds gathered, we know very well to discern that it will be raining any time. But it is an irony that what is happening in the world doesn’t seems to be an indication to us that we do not have much time left. Since there is no realization of the truth of the matter, we will also not be prepared for it. It is the same with exam, we will only prepare for it when the date is nearing. But why is it that with all that is happening in this world, we seems to be unmoved? Jesus clearly specified that His return will be unknown to us. But He instructed us to be ready regardless. With the signs pointing to His coming anytime possible, are we ready? Will we have any regrets if He is to come for us now?
