"You must be ready because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." Luke 12:40
These words of Jesus noted above in the Gospel of Luke have drawn attention lately thanks to the musings of Harold Camping, a founder of Family Radio, a non-commercial Christian broadcasting network. He has prophecied (is that a word?) that the Second Coming of Jesus will occur today, May 21. Thanks largely to the verse above, I do not believe him. And his prediction has come under scrutnity, been the butt of jokes, and even inspired such things as "post-Rapture looting parties."
But what if one takes a different approach? If the Second Coming were to occur today, would you be ready? What would you change about your life, if anything? Use this as an opportunity to do good in the world and serve mankind. Take time to laugh more (I could certainly use my own advice here!). Enjoy life more! Create a "bucket list" and go do it. Once again, I need to follow my own advice. Now to go make that bucket list...
