Our Last Test

Scripture Reading: Titus 2:11-15

Focus Verses: Mark 13:32-33
 "No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son Himself. Only the Father knows.  And since you don't know when they will happen, stay alert and keep watch."

When you were in school you had to take test.  Tests were given so that the teacher could see how well you studied the material.  Many times I knew well in advance when the test would be, but I would wait until the last day to study.  Our human nature is to put off until tomorrow what we should prepare for today.

The Bible tells us there is a test coming that all humanity will face.  Hebrews 9:27 says, "And it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."  One day Jesus is coming back to the earth to judge, and to set up His earthly kingdom. Many people have heard that this event will happen one day, but have delayed in preparing for it.  The Bible says "broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many will go that way.  There are also many Christians that will be unprepared for that day.  They are failing to live in such a way that will result in rewards for their faithfulness.

If you have never accepted Christ as Lord and Savior in your life, so do today.  You don't want to be unprepared on that final day.  This is one test you want to make sure you are prepared for.  If you are prepared, let's give a warning to as many people as we can that there is still time today to prepare for this final test.
