In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus tells us to be ready and the prophet Isaiah speaks of the glory of what we are told to anticipate. Our challenge is that many of us do not expect Jesus to return anytime soon. The first step of hope, is managing our un-expectations. How would we change our lives if we believed and expected God’s kingdom would be fully realized at any moment? What would we do differently if Jesus were coming back tomorrow?

Primary scripture ~ Matthew 24:36-44
