Be Careful!

«But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.» Luke 21:34

When He was on earth, Jesus gave His disciples a lot of guidance about the time of the end. He repeated several times that we need to be careful and watchful.

Do you know what it means to be watchful? It means to be alert and pay attention to what is happening around us. Have you heard about the wars that are always happening somewhere in the world? Or of people going hungry? Or of evil people who kill and steal?

At the time of the end, people would also be so concerned about themselves, their possessions and their food, that they would forget about Jesus.

Jesus warned: “Be careful! Don’t neglect to prepare yourself for My return! If you are not watchful, I may return and you won’t be prepared to receive Me and go to Heaven with Me!”

Let’s practice!

Talk to your parents about how to prepare for the return of Jesus.
