ARE YOU READY

"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."

Matthew 24:42
King James Version

Harriet E. Jones wrote a beautiful hymn "IF CHRIST SHOULD COME TONIGHT". The words in this beautiful hymn should make all of us certain that Jesus is our Saviour.

"If our Lord should come tonight, With the bright angelic host, Would He find us in His vineyard, Every servant at his post? Thro’ the precious cleansing blood, Are our garments clean and white? Are we dwelling in the light, Should our Lord appear tonight?
Are we watching, are we waiting In the raiment pure and white? Should we joy at His appearing If our Lord should come tonight?
If our Lord should come tonight, Come as King and Judge of all, Are there any here assembled who would tremble at His call?
Is there one, oh, is there one Far from Jesus and the light, Unrepentant, lost, undone, If the Judge should come tonight?

Christ as king and judge will come, ’Tis recorded in His book; He will bid us stand before Him, Not a soul will He o’erlook! Are we ready, every one? Are we in the raiment white, If the Judge of all mankind Should appear this very night?"

Every one of us has to answer this question. Just because we go to church doesn't mean that we are saved. I went to church for years before I asked God to forgive me and asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me.

Salvation is personal between you and Jesus. Your family and friends can't save you as much as they want to do so.

If you have never asked God to forgive you for your sins and asked Jesus to come into your heart and save you, do it now. Don't miss ou6t on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.

Frances R. Havergal wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour "I Gave My Life for Thee" Jesus gave His life for you and for me. What have we given to Him?

"1 I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou mightst ransomed be, And quickened from the dead;

I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou done for Me? I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou done for Me?
My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne I left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me?

I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitterest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me?

And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me?"
If you were standing before Jesus, how would you answer Him?
