The unknown hour

 

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” - Matthew 24:42

 

Dwight D. Eisenhower, the former President of America was vacationing once. At that time a letter was sent to him stating that a six-year-old boy named Paul was dying of cancer and his dying wish was to see the President of his country. When this news was brought to the knowledge of Eisenhower, he decided to meet Paul. So, the President went out of his way and knocked on the front door of his house. Paul’s father was taken aback, because of his unpredicted visit. He was rather embarrassed to stand before him dressed in jeans and old dirty shirt and an unshaven face. But he rose to the occasion and took him to the son and the President spent some time with Paul and went away. The surprise visit of the President was the talk of the people in that area and they were happy and proud about it. But Paul’s father was not at all pleased because he never dreamt that the letter would reach the President and he would visit his place at once.     

 

In the parable of the ten virgins, five of the virgins were wise and the other five were foolish. The wise ones took oil in jars along with their lamps. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The bridegroom arrived at midnight. The virgins trimmed their lamps and those who were ready went in with the bridegroom to the wedding banquet. The foolish ones lost their opportunity as they were unprepared. 

 

The second coming of Jesus is nigh and it is the truth and we all know it. But how far have we prepared ourselves for that day? Are we thinking that it has been said for years and Jesus hasn’t come yet? We can see people who are not cautious and unprepared. The people need to change their mindset. Yes, beloved, the Lord will come at the unknown and unexpected hour. Are we prepared to meet him? Have we put on the garment of salvation which is unblemished and spotless or are we seen with the stain of sin? Now is the accepted time to prepare to meet our God. Let us be watchful and be ready.
