So always be ready,
because you don’t know the day your Lord will come
.”
Matthew 24:42


We prepare for many things – careers, marriages, schooling –
but are we prepared to meet God?
[Billy Graham]

Most Christians aren't prepared for anything. Plus, we don't even know what that means. Although, we can guess that it is more than nothing. Reading the Bible is not going to be enough.

We'll know Jesus is coming 42 months out, according to Revelation. It's not going to be a mystery.

Matthew 25 suggests double trouble with the return of Jesus:

1. The parable of the talents.
2. The wise and foolish virgins.

In the parable of the talents, the one person who buries his talent gets tossed into outer darkness. So, make a wrong decision and suffer the consequences.

In the wise and foolish virgins, half the virgins make a bad decision and suffer the consequences.

There seems to be substantial consequences for failure to be ready, whatever that means.
