All week my daughter Isabelle has been telling me that she is scared from all the storms and earthquakes she has either seen on TV or experienced this week. She keeps asking me, "Dad does this mean that Jesus is coming back soon?" I always respond by saying, I don't know if He is coming back soon. I just know that the Bible tells us that we as Christians need to be ready for when He does come back.
Mark 13:32-37 says, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: “Watch!"
Are you ready for Jesus' return. If your not, I highly encourage you to get ready and get serious about your relationship with Him; because when He does return your relationship with Him is all that is going to matter.
