Tuesday: Are You Ready?

from The Weekly Word from Burns · host Burns Church

Can You Stay Awake Forever? (Hint: No.) It's Holy Week Tuesday—the last day Jesus walked the earth before the events of the Passion began. Today, we slow down and listen to the longest, most challenging sermon Jesus ever preached: the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24-25). The disciples were worried about a coming disaster, and Jesus' answer was simple: "Be Ready." But how do you prepare for the end of the world as you know it? Is it a bunker, shelf-stable food, or a stockpile of whiskey and ammo? Jesus tells us about virgins who fell asleep, and warns us about the destruction of Jerusalem and His ultimate return. The lesson isn't about staying awake forever, it's about being ready when you wake up. Discover the simple, powerful act of "readiness" that Jesus demands. It might be the spiritual spring cleaning you need to fight complacency and live well right now.
