BOB
Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church.
Over and over again Jesus tells his disciples and not incidentally us,
to be ready for his return at any moment.
Many in our time and in almost every time since Jesus' life on earth
have tried to predict when Jesus will return so as to know when to be
ready and perhaps not have to be quite so ready today. But Jesus not
only comes at the end of time, but he comes to us each day, in the guise
of a stranger, a person who is ill or who needs an encouraging word
or a gentle touch. Do I treasure these opportunities as an encounter
with Christ? Lord, make me vigilant so that I may recognize you in others.
CS Lewis says there are no ordinary mortals. Everyone is an extra-ordinary
immortal destined for eternal joy. Let me be reverent to them all.
