It will be the same as it was in Lot’s day: people were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but the day Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from heaven and it destroyed them all. It will be the same when the day comes for the Son of Man to be revealed.
Lk.17:28-30
Jesus tells his disciples to always be ready for the day of judgement, the end of time.
Death has a 100% success rate. We all are going to die. We just don't know exactly when. And this is Jesus' point. We don't need to know when, we just need to be ready.
I try to live out my day with an eschatological world view. That is, with one eye firmly fixed on judgement day. It sharpens my focus on what is before me, on what love is doing or on what love needs to do.
Three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. This is all that matters, really.
Jesus, help me live out today as though it's my last. I place my trust in you.
