Thanks Dee! I appreciate your support greatly! I ran out of time but also wanted to demonstrate how Christians will also have to undergo the tribulations by looking at Matthew 24:21-22 & Matthew 13:37-43. The other point I wanted to make was regarding “when” the end will come. Too many are wrapped up in “knowing” when it will come… it will come when each of us dies! If we are living in a state of grace then we are prepared for death NOW, and by default for the end of time and judgement!
ARE WE READY? That’s the question? How do we get ready? The answer is simple… the Sacraments… direct encounters with Christ and the Grace of God! What a gift God has given to us in His Church! Let’s prepare today for eternity and live as though Christ’s return is immanent, because it is! Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, here and now. Let’s go to confession and receive the “hidden manna” from Heaven (Rev. 2:17), in the Eucharist, that, as Jesus said in John 6:54, “he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Looking forward to that last day! May God give me the strength, determination, fortitude and desire to run the race and work out my salvation in fear and trembling! (1 Cor. 9 & Philippians 2).
