Are You Ready?

A LITTLE girl returned home, and found the house empty. She called out,
"Where is mother? Where is father?"
As no one answered, she was quite alarmed. She could not help but wonder where her parents were. Have they gone away to be with the Lord? Has she been left behind?
She had been told that the Lord was coming some day to take all who know Him as their Saviour to be with Him forever.
"The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thess. 4:16, 1716For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16‑17).
It is no wonder she was alarmed at the thought of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Often questions like these have filled the minds of young people who know the truth of the coming again of the Lod Jesus.
Two little boys woke up one night to find their room full of light. They thought the Lord had come. When they looked for their father they could not find him.
The fact was that he had gone out of the house to a fire near by, which had filled their room with light.
They knew they were not ready if the
Lord returned, but they never rested until they were able to say,
"Even so, come, Lord Jesus" in answer to His Word, "Surely, I come quickly."
Are you ready?
