What are your plans for the next 24 hours? Take a minute to think about what you plan on doing between now and this time tomorrow. Now imagine that these would be your last 24 hours. How would that affect your priorities? Would you still do the things you planned or would there be other things that were suddenly more important? Would there be things that you would want to put right? Relationships that need to be repaired? Put things right with God? Put things right with others?
In Matthew 25 Jesus tells some parables that warn us of the importance of being ready for the end of world as we know it. Whilst we are not told many of the details about the 'end times', we are told that it will happen and therefore we need to be ready. And because we don't know the when, we should seek to live as if we really believed it could be tomorrow - or sooner.
