Watch & Pray!
Luke 21:25-38
Main Point:
We are called to watch, be careful and pray as Christ’s return draws nearer, closer.
So many wait until it’s too late! (v.34) A snare line, a trap the enemy, Satan and his minions tries to get us to fall into this – be asleep in the light, lukewarm, apathetic…
1. - Christ’s return is imminent! Signs of the times are pointing to His soon return. (verses 29-31)
‘Kingdom of God is near’ – in its fullness, consummation.
There are more signs to come, but it can happen quickly.
It is certain. Heaven & earth will pass away but not Christ’s Word!
2. Be - Don’t be weighed down with carousing (pain in head = lightheaded, buzzed), drunkenness (drink), or the anxiety (cares that bring about anxiety) of life. (verse 34)
Many are caught up in this.
3. Be – Watch and pray that you and others will ready for His return. We are called to warn others! (verse 36)
-Escape all that is about to happen
-Stand before the Son of Man
