Let Us Watch and Be Ready
(Matthew 24:42-44)

​Introduction:

         1. At that last great day, 3 special events will take place, including "the return of Christ," "the resurrection,"
             and "the judgment."
         2. This morning we showed from Matthew 24:36-51 that "the Lord wants us to watch and be ready."
         3. This evening we are making a more personal approach -- "let us watch and be ready" [we are
             concentrating on instructions that are designed to help us be prepared for these great events when
             they occur].

Discussion:


I.           INSTRUCTIONS  RELATING TO  THE  RETURN  OF  CHRIST


         A. We are to watch and we are to be ready for it (Matthew 24:42, 44; 25:13).
         B. To be ready, we must:
             1. obey the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)
             2. live right (Titus 2:11-13; 2 Peter 3:10-14).
         C. Some specific instructions for Christians are given in 1 Thessalonians 5:15-23.

II.          INSTRUCTIONS  RELATING  TO  THE  RESURRECTION


         A. We are to abound in the Lord's work (1 Corinthians 15:58).
         B. We are to forget those things that are behind and reach forth unto those things that are before us
             (Philippians 3:8-16).

III.         INSTRUCTIONS  RELATING  TO  THE  JUDGMENT


         A. We are to use our talents (Matthew 25:14-30).
         B. We are to assist the needy (Matthew 25:31-46).
         C. We are to be faithful (Revelation 2:10).
         D. We are to persuade others (2 Corinthians 5:10-11).

Conclusion:


         1. "The Lord wants us to watch and be ready."
         2. As we watch, let us heed the Lord's instructions so we can be ready.
