Listening to the Radio the other day, I heard a great analogy about Jesus coming back... and I want to share it with you...
The person talking said that Jesus is of course coming back for His church... one day, we don't know exactly when. Some people debate about it, many think He will take His church BEFORE the great tribulation, some others think it will be during, and some others think it will be after....
This has been a topic of discussion for many many many years... and I know we will never really all agree on this....
Here is the analogy:
"There was a family and they were all fighting... Someone arrived to their house and saw them all arguing with each other, the visitor asked: -Why are you all fighting? What is this all about?- And one of them answered:
-You'll see, William, our oldest brother, has been gone for many years and we are waiting for him, we know he is coming back but my mom thinks it will be next month, my sister says he will be here next week, my dad thinks he is coming back with some friends, and I think he is coming back on his own and it will be until next year... so, that's what we are discussing about because we want to be ready when he comes- The visitor left them arguing so they continued, fighting with each other when all of a sudden the door opened and there he was: William! he was back and he found them fighting about his return"
It doesn't sound very smart, huh?
-------
I really liked this analogy, I think neither of us really know when HE is coming back.... but we should be ready all the time... we don't know if He is coming today... I remember I asked my ex-pastor many years ago: "When do you think the end of the world' will be?" He said: "I don't know but for many people the end of the world is today"... yes... we are so worried about knowing "Dates and times" and we don't even know we will live tomorrow.... we don't know if we will make it the end of the day....
So, How do we want HIM to find us? let's all be ready for HIS return... Today!
"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."Matthew 25:13

I agree that there isn't a need to really worry or even argue about it. Just be ready. Tell as many peopel you can about the gospel.
When I have my house nice and clean, I don't have to worry about people popping in and seeing my house a mess! Just always be ready. One thing we know for sure is that HE is coming. I'm looking forward to that day.
