Matthew 24:32-26:5 | Mark 13:28-14:2 | Luke 21:28-22:6

The Lord finishes His Olivet discourse, telling His disciples in many different ways about things that will happen in the last days, and about the importance of maintaining a very watchful eye out for His return.  He told the story of the 10 virgins, where only half of them were prepared to enter in to the celebration with the bride and Bridegroom.  He also told a story about the Master giving His servants money to use while He is away, but He returns to get an accounting of what each servant did with what He gave them.  The Lord has given each of His servants resources, and we will all be called to account for what we did for Him, with what He gave us, whether that be money, abilities, or responsibilities.

The days of this age are quickly drawing to a close, and it is important for each of us to also hear the words of Jesus, so that we are each watching for His return, and prepared to stand before Him at the Judgement Seat of Christ, where He will judge each person’s works for Him, as Christians.
