Good Morning,
Our Scripture reading today is Luke 2:29-32.
Verse 31, "Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;"
Our heavenly Father is a God of preparation. Nothing takes God by surprise. The plan of salvation was God's preparation for fallen mankind. God made a way back to Him. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son..." God gave so sinners could be forgiven and one day spend all eternity with Him. Preparations are being made for our eternal home. John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."
The question we must answer and be willing to ask others is, "Am I prepared to die or are you prepared to die?"
Your friend,
Pastor
