When Will Jesus Return?

Many people have forecast the date for the return of Jesus Christ. I find this amusing since in Mark 13 and other gospels we are specifically told this: 32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Now if Jesus really said this do you think He would have somehow revealed it to some guy who has a TV show on a wacky Christian network or who operates a website that frequently asks people for money? Somehow I doubt that if God were to go against His word and reveal it to someone, that someone would not be a Christian “huckster”. God doesn’t reveal the date and time, in part because He wants His followers to always be ready. If we knew the date and time, we’d slack off until the last minute and then get “busy”. But God knows mankind better than mankind knows itself. So, we don’t know the day and time of Jesus’ return. We know that it is certain and until then we are told to watch….and be ready.  The emphasis is not on knowing the date for the return of Jesus but being ready when that date arrives, whenever it is.  Are you ready?
