Scripture: Mark 13: 34-37

For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Scripture Commentary: The keys to God’s house are His Words, The Bible.

Jesus has left us with the keys to His Father’s House.  The keys are His Words, The Bible.  His footprints are on the ground, in the sand and on the floor.

Our role is to be the porters, the gatekeepers, Christ’s servants.  Are you a servant for God?  Or are you a self-serving person?

The gatekeeper or doorman is the one who is spreading God’s Gospel.  It’s the person who is trying his/her best to live a Godly life.

Prepare for Jesus’ return

We don’t know, as God’s servants, when the Master will return.  We plan for events in our lives such as births, weddings, home purchases, and car purchases.

But are we preparing for Jesus?  Our Lord has gone to prepare our rooms.  What are you doing to prepare for the journey?

When God has given us another second, minute, hour, day, we are to give thanks and go about spreading His Gospel to as many people as possible.
