Those who know me will also know that ever since moving to Taiwan, I've been really living it up. Garin once commented with disdain that I led a 'disgustingly hedonistic single' lifestyle. And you know what, I was rather proud of that. Until Friday night's reading. Jesus' words were so pointed.
Luke Chapter 21
29 And he told them a parable, 'Look at the fig tree and indeed every tree.30 As soon as you see them bud, you can see for yourselves that summer is now near.31 So with you when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near.32 In truth I tell you, before this generation has passed away all will have taken place.33 Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Be on the alert 34 'Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened by debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will come upon you unexpectedly,35 like a trap. For it will come down on all those living on the face of the earth.36 Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to hold your ground before the Son of man.'
I went extra early to church on Sunday.
Pls prepare your hearts for the coming of Jesus this Christmas.
