It was August 1991 when one afternoon, I went to a Minnesota Twins game with some new friends from the Christian university where I studied Pastoral Studies. I was tired after having driven there the night before and getting up early to register for classes. So tired in fact, that I fell asleep sitting in the hard plastic seat at the baseball game. It was a boring pitchers duel with no score, which helped me fall asleep.
I woke up to the crowd cheering loudly. Kirby Puckett had just hit the game winning homerun in the bottom of the 9th inning. I missed the only action of the game.
We are instructed in the bible to stay alert and watch for the coming of Jesus, to be ready for Jesus to return.
1 Peter 5:8- Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
Matthew 24:42-
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
Dear reader don’t be like me at that baseball game falling asleep and missing out. Let’s be expectedly watching for the return of Jesus.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
