Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is "hent.” There are some pretty
cool parables in the Bible. Matthew actually takes an entire section to group
together parables of Jesus. Whether or not Jesus actually sent them all specifically
together is not really the point. The point is that Jesus had some really good
to let people know in terms of living life correctly. And, it is amazing that
all of these parables really make a ton of sense still even today. The parable
below has to do a bunch with what it means for us to wait for Jesus with
expectancy.
The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all
became drowsy and fell asleep. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the
bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
~Matt 25:5-6
My question is: are you waiting for Jesus to come back with
expectancy? What I mean is, the way that we act really tells a lot about who we
are in Christ. Your actions make a ton of difference, both to believers and
those who do not know Jesus. For believers, it helps people renew their faith
and strengthen their resolve to follow Jesus. For those who are nonbelievers,
it is almost doubly important for us to act according to the will of Christ.
The reason for this is that the old saying is, "you may be the only Jesus
anyone ever sees." It is time to hent, or seize, each moment for our God.
