December 11

Every Bible student who believes the prophecies knows that Jesus’ coming is very near. The important, urgent thing is that every child of God must be prepared for that day. That is possible for everybody. Jesus finished all that had to be done for us on the cross. He died for us and rose again and is with the Father, where He prays for us. By His Holy Spirit He is even in us. If you know you are not ready, confess your sins and claim God’s forgiveness for Jesus’ sake. Forgive others by the power of the Holy Spirit in you.

Because . . . you have a hope like this before you, I urge you to make certain that such a Day would find you at peace with God and man, clean and blameless in His sight. (2 Peter 3:14 *Phillips)

Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are willing to prepare me to meet You, whenever that will be.
