15TH AUGUST
Matthew 24:37-44
“For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Don’t assume that you have unlimited time to introduce someone in your life to Jesus!
When God opens a conversational door for you to talk about Christ with someone in your life, don’t hesitate; don’t wonder if this is really the right time. If the opportunity comes up, take it.
Don’t be afraid to ask them questions about their spiritual life. Don’t hold back from sharing the gospel. Who knows when your time of influence in their lives will end? They may move away, or change jobs, or get too busy for time with you. Or Jesus may return. “For the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect!”
MAKE IT PERSONAL:
When you face an intimidating situation such as telling your co-workers about Jesus, is your first reaction to look at your own resources of God’s promises? Why?
