A Thief in the Night

When our family lived in South America, our home was broken into twice. Both times this happened when I was gone, and my wife was alone with our four boys. The first time the thieves took about a third of our property. The second time they took everything but the TV and filing cabinets. Nice guys!

But the thing that I resented was that the thieves didnt call me and tell me they were coming! Thieves dont have a habit of letting you know their schedule. They sneak in when you least expect them.

The Lord picks up on that idea when He talks about the second coming of Jesus Christ. First Thessalonians 5 says, “The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”

Why will the second coming happen so suddenly, and when we least expect it? Because the Lord wants us to be ready and alert every day of our lives. He wants us to live each day with the thought that He could return at any moment.

In Matthew 24 Jesus says He will be pleased with the wise and faithful servant who, upon Christs return, is doing what he was asked to do. When Jesus comes again, He wants to find us sharing His liberating Good News with our world. The question is, is that how Hell find us?
