This month is not only the end of the year but the end of the millennium. Some have said it’s going to be the end of the world too. I’m sure there isn’t a person who hasn’t heard of Y2K and what it means.

The end will come some day. No man knows the date or the hour. As Jesus taught us, “Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When her branch is tender and the leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is almost here. Just so, when you see all these things beginning to happen, you can know that my return is near, even at the doors. Then at last this age will come to its close. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words remain forever. But no one knows the date and hour when the end will be — not even the angels. No, nor even God’s Son. Only the Father knows. The world will be at ease – banquets and parties and weddings – just as it was in Noah’s time before the sudden coming of the Flood; people wouldn’t believe what was going to happen until the Flood actually arrived and took them all away. So shall my coming be.” Matthew 24:32-39 TLB

The good news is what awaits believers who know Christ and share fellowship in His sufferings in this life. As it says in Philippians 3:20-21 TLB “But our homeland is in heaven, where our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is; and we are looking forward to his return from there. When he comes back, he will take these dying bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer all else everywhere.”

It shouldn’t be a matter of when it will happen but that it IS going to happen and are you prepared for it? It’s not about getting our worldly lives in order but about getting our spiritual lives in order. Can you say that if you would die tomorrow you would know where you would spend eternity? If you can’t answer that question with a “Yes, I will be spending eternity in Heaven with my Lord,” then you don’t have your spiritual life in order. Just think “What if it did happen this New Year’s Eve?” Make sure you are right with God before it’s too late. Don’t wait till the day after and say “I should have done that yesterday instead of putting it off. Now it’s too late.”

Make sure it’s not too late. Admit to God in prayer that you have sinned. Believe Jesus died for your sins, and Confess those sins to Him. Get your life in order now that you will be prepared when that day does finally come!
