Pop quizzes in school are dreaded because they reveal whether you’re prepared. Similarly, the Bible tells us an ultimate “pop quiz” is coming: the return of Jesus, the King of kings. We can’t afford to be unprepared.
Luke 12:35-59 outlines how to be ready for His return:
- Be Alert: Like servants waiting for their master, we must stay vigilant because Jesus will return when we least expect it.
- Be Faithful: Jesus challenges us to be faithful stewards, ready for His return, and to avoid neglecting or abusing our responsibilities.
- Be Loyal: Our loyalty to Jesus must surpass even family ties. His message will divide, but we must choose Him.
- Be Prepared: Just as we anticipate weather changes, we must live in light of Jesus’ return. It’s essential to settle accounts with Him before it’s too late.
Takeaway: Live in Light of the Return of the King If you don’t know Jesus, now is the time to embrace Him as Savior. If you do, it’s time to take discipleship seriously—be alert, faithful, loyal, and prepared. Jesus is coming back, and the ultimate “pop quiz” could happen at any time.
