Series Focus – “It’s Time To …”
As the Church Year draws to a close, it’s time to look ahead to Judgment Day. While we wait for Christ’s return, it’s easy to grow distracted and spiritually drowsy, so it’s time to watch for the final events. Jesus hasn’t yet come because there is still work to do through us, so it’s time to put our affairs in order, using our gifts in faithful service. And because our Savior conquered sin and death, it’s time to hope for the best: eternity with Jesus, free from sorrow and pain.
Service Focus: Watch for the Final Events
Imagine you are planning to take the family out to dinner. You all have to wait for someone to get ready. Minute after minute passes. What can happen in that situation? It’s easy to focus on something else and even forget the original goal. Perhaps as you wait, you even fall asleep.
As we wait for Christ to return, as day after day passes, it can be easy to get distracted, to lose vigilance, to become spiritually drowsy. It’s the beginning of the end. Why does it have to take so long? God forbid that Christ should return and find us spiritually asleep. Today we are reminded that the time between Christ’s first and second coming is a time for watchfulness.
