Christ is coming! Are you ready?
The first trumpet has blown. Has it awakened you out of your sleep of sin and vanity?
The second has sounded. Have you fallen into line? Are you numbered with those whose "blessed hope" is the expectation of Christ's return?
Soon the last trump, "the trump of God," will call all His own into His presence. Will you not challenge yourself three times over, "Am I ready?"
"Are you ready" in conscience? Is the question of your sins settled? Are you at peace with God?
"Are you ready" in heart? Are your affections set on Christ, "on things above" where He is? Are all your matters in such order that you would gladly welcome Him this hour?
Perhaps as you read these lines, "the Lord Himself" may "descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God." Are you ready?
"We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." 1 Cor. 15:51, 5251Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:51‑52).
