CONSECRATE


Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. 


Jesus, I belong to you.


I lift up my heart to you.

I set my mind on you.

I fix my eyes on you.

I offer my body to you as a living sacrifice.


Jesus, we belong to you. 


Praying in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen. 


HEAR


Matthew 24:36 –39 ESV


“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 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.”


CONSIDER



Could it be today? 


I wonder when is the last time you had that thought—Could it be today? Could today be the day when Jesus returns to the earth and completes the sequence of last things. So my answers to the questions are: “Yes, it could be today” and “I think about this matter at least every Sunday morning in church.” It happens when we come to that part of the Apostles’ Creed where we declare: “From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.” 


This is the only thing that remains yet to happen on the calendar of the Son of God in the history of the world. Everything else is, as they say, fait accompli. Let me push a step further. Do you really believe it will happen? Because I don’t believe Jesus believes we believe it will actually happen—the return of Jesus Christ, the end of the world as we know it, and the coming in full of the glorious age to come. Why do I say this? One word: Noah. 


When is the last time you thought about Noah and the flood and the ark? 


Me? It’s been awhile. 


So I read it again today. Stunning. It only took five chapters of biblical history to get to this:



The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. (Gen. 6:5–6)



Could it be today? 


I wish to say a few things very clearly today and emphatically. 



  1. We now live in the age of the mercy of God. 

  2. Judgment is coming. 

  3. We will not be ready. 

  4. We can be prepared. 


We have it on the testimony of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, the second person of the triune Godhead. 



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.



How can we be prepared? There is only one way. Receive the gift of eternal salvation in Jesus Christ. 


Could it be today? 




PRAY


Our Father in heaven, it’s me (say your name), I want to know you. I want to be ready for your return—even today. I confess I am a sinner. I have failed myself, others, and you in many ways. I know you made me for a purpose and I want to fulfill that purpose with my one life. I want to follow Jesus Christ. Jesus, thank you for the gift of your life and death and resurrection and ascension on my behalf. I want to walk in relationship with you as Savior and Lord. Would you lead me into the fullness and newness of life I was made for? I am ready to follow you. Come, Holy Spirit, and fill me with the love, power, and purposes of God. I pray these things by faith in the name of Jesus, amen.


JOURNAL


Do you believe Jesus will return to the earth and bring his kingdom in final fullness? Do you believe it could be today? Are you prepared? Do you know people who aren’t prepared? Write down their names in your journal. Will you begin praying for them by name today? 


SING


Today, we will sing “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” (hymn 61) from our Seedbed hymnal, Our Great Redeemer’s Praise. Today would be a great day to watch the episode on YouTube as I stopped at the home of a very special sower who joins me for the hymn. 


For the Awakening,
