Some Advice to Christians

“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;  and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.  
Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. 
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?  
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.  
I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.  
But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’  
and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.  
The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.  
He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
Matthew 24:36-51
This is a follow up to what I was talking about yesterday. Jesus makes it clear
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Jesus make it clear that society will go on as normal. It will be like in the time of Noah,
 “people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;  and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away..”
  The call of Jesus is to be ready. He says,
“So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
In other words don’t bother about speculation as to when he is coming be ready at any time.
 Jesus says,
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?  
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.  
I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
Note here Jesus is saying a wise servant whom the master has put in charge of his servants gives them food at the proper time.
In other words, builds up the body of believers. Doing as Jesus instructed in Matthew 28 when he said,
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
                                                                                    Matthew 28:19-20.
As far as I’m concerned we cannot win souls by speculating on when Jesus is returning.
Buying books that supposedly tell of prophetic events yet to happen is a waste. They may be interesting but the money could be better spent on ministries that are out there reaching the world for Christ.
Jesus said,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 
                                                                       Matthew 28:18-20.
This is the whole duty of the Christian, to win souls. And Jesus makes it clear what our reward will be.
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time?  
It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.  
I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
Think about it.
