Gospel Case

The gospel reading is taken from the book of Mathew chapter 24, verses 37-44.

This Sunday, December 1 is the start of advent. Jesus said to his disciples "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the son of Man. In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking... "

The gospel is telling us that, God is coming in an unexpected moment and we should be prepared on how this would happen. The Gospel is also reminding us the story of Noah, where he was visited by God and told him to build an ark. The ark will be use during a flood, where it will wash everything up.

As what happen to the story of Noah, he was able to save lives of animals and also was able to save his.

"In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,

up to the day that Noah entered the ark." In this line, it is stating on what other people was doing before Noah enter the ark. As you can see, they don't care and unable to prepare of the coming. So when the rain poured and water level was rising. That was the only time they were able to react on the event.

After reading the gospel, I have realized that I should prepare myself on his coming. I must not relax myself on doing that would distract me and causes me to lose track of what is truly happening. I should repent my sin and be aware of my actions because no one knows when the day of his coming will happen. And when the day comes I should be ready with the encounter with him.

It also doesn't mean that on the 25th of December is the only particular day he will arrive. The day of his coming can happen anytime at any given moment. We his believers should not pleasure ourselves on doing which will result us to regret on the day of the coming. Where it will be too late to repent.
