Luke 17:

Luke 17:26-37 Bible Passage: Luke 17:26-37 Key Verse: “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.” v 30 Jesus is speaking with his disciples about the coming of God's Kingdom. We refer to this as the second coming, when Jesus will return again and establish His Kingdom.  The key in this passage is that Jesus wants His disciples to know and us to know, is that we won’t know the time. It will come when it’s least expected. Jesus gives two examples His listeners would know, Noah and the flood, Lot and the city of Sodom. In both circumstances, destruction would arrive via both the flood and fire when everyone was just getting on with life. The key theme is that you can’t know the time, so always be ready. This is true of the second coming but it is also true of life in general. None of us knows what today or tomorrow will bring. We are all a heartbeat from disaster. That can be a health, relational, financial, or situational crisis. They are usually totally unexpected. Nudge: If that is the case, be ready in all of life. Live well, love people around you, forgive and move on, don’t hold grudges. Life is too short to live with anger and resentment. We all pray that disaster won’t strike today, but knowing it might, be prepared in every part of life. Share this daily- reading. (Agreed with many thanks to Karl Faase)
