The unknown Hour
Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
In the verses above, Jesus unveils the mystery surrounding the timing of His return, emphasizing the unpredictability that shrouds this momentous event. The phrase "no one knows" serves as a profound reminder of the divine sovereignty that veils the precise hour of Christ's second advent.
As we reflect on the comparison Jesus draws between His return and the days of Noah, we are urged to discern the parallels. In Noah's time, people lived oblivious to the impending flood until it was too late. Similarly, the world may be engrossed in the affairs of the day, heedless of the imminent return of our Lord.
The unknown hour challenges us to live in a perpetual state of readiness and anticipation. It compels us to examine our hearts and ask if we are faithfully living out the teachings of Christ, ever watchful for His return.
As followers of Christ, our faith is not anchored in the certainty of when, but in the unwavering assurance that He will come.
This uncertainty should not breed fear but inspire a deeper commitment to righteousness, compassion, and unwavering faith. The unknown hour serves as a call to action, urging us to be faithful stewards of the time and resources entrusted to us by God.
Let us heed the words of Jesus and embrace the spirit of readiness. Just as Noah diligently prepared for the flood, let us prepare our hearts for the glorious return of our Savior. The unknown hour serves as a beacon of hope, encouraging us to live in a manner that brings honor and glory to our Lord.
In conclusion, as we navigate the complexities of life, let us embrace the understanding that Christ second coming can happen at anytime, let it fuel our spiritual fervor, and fortify our commitment to Christ. May we be found faithful when He comes, eagerly awaiting the moment when the unknown hour is finally revealed, and we are united with our Saviour for eternity. Amen.
God bless you.
