Matthew 24:32-51

Jesus continued to tell the disciples about His return by reminding them that what He had given them were signs of the end days. He likened it to the fig tree, which signals the coming of summer when its leaves start to sprout. It's not summer yet, but it's close. Likewise, when these signs happen, it's not time for Jesus' return yet, but it's close. No one can know the exact date. So until then, we are to continue to do God's will until the appointed time. Jesus made an analogy to a servant who is always doing what he is supposed to even when the master is away as opposed to a servant who takes advantage of his master's absence by breaking the rules and getting away with abusing his fellow servants and consuming his masters food and drink.

We need to live each day like Jesus is coming back tomorrow. When He comes back, how do you want to be found? living for Him and doing His work or living for yourself?
