God the Thief, Good News or Bad?
(Matthew 24:36-44)
“But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.” (Matthew 24:43)
We often live as though our days belong solely to us, but Jesus teaches that the Son of Man will come at an hour we do not expect. Don’t we live as if we have everything figured out—planning and managing our lives perfectly to avoid anything unpredictable? Advent invites us to wake up, to live alert and faithful, and to remember that every moment is held in God’s hands. Instead of drifting through life as if time were ours to spend however we wish, we are called to live ready for God’s coming at an unexpected moment. Is this good news or bad news for you?
Come join us at Jonesville UMC! The service begins at 9:30AM. You can
also connect with us via livestream at JonesvilleUMC.org at the same time.
Blessings,
