Good Monday morning! I read in Luke today about the day when the Son of Man will be revealed. One interesting point is that Jesus said that if one is working on the roof, he must not go down into the house to pack. That is interesting to me in that it seems even up to the last moment, we will still have that choice, Jesus or this world. What saddens me is that some may "go down to pack" when they should be praising the name of Jesus. To me it doesn't seem like a difficult choice, but I have not arrived at that moment yet. I wonder in this day of instant messaging and email, how many would want to go back for their laptop? Foolishness we would call it, but similar things happen all the time in earthly disasters. We must not cling to the things of this earth, and how easy that is to do! Some may have good intentions in that last day, thinking to leave a note giving their possessions to a loved one whom they suspect will not be taken up. Jesus says not to try that. Later, in one of Paul's messages from our Lord, Jesus sets our mind at ease regarding this decision. Those of us who have already decided will be caught up in an instant. That is comforting to know. We need not fear our own wavering at that last moment.
Let the glory of the Lord shine!
