Week 9

This week in Matthew 23-25 there is a topic on the end of this age and when Jesus will return as well as on who will get into Heaven and who will be thrown into hell.

This reminds us "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father” and the return of Christ will be like the ‘Days of Noah’ where the whole earth was flooded with water and there was warning of this coming beforehand but no one listens!! What it is saying here is, now that Jesus has warned us about what will happen before end of the age and how there will be signs when that day is getting closer and closer. This passage followed by the parables of the 10 virgins – illustrates those who are lazy to fill up the oil for their lamp came knocking on the door of Heaven and asked to be accepted by God will be rejected - 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you’.

Let us listen and repent and get ourselves ready before that day arrive and not foolishly think there are still time and the master will be late in arrival.
