Live Intentionally for Jesus
Suppose Jesus were to return today. How would he find you living? Are you ready to meet him? We need to live everyday like it’s our last. No one knows when the Lord will return so don’t be deceived by anyone who thinks they know.
When you live for Christ Jesus the Bible says we won’t be surprised when he returns.
1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 4 says “But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.”
If you knew a thief was going to break into your home tonight, if you’re smart, you would do everything you can to prepare.
It goes on to say in verses 5-11:
“For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”
Live for Christ Jesus and you will be prepared for his return.

Living intentionally for Jesus means more than just attending church—it involves a daily commitment to reflect His love and teachings in our lives. The Bible emphasizes the importance of being vigilant and prepared as believers, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 5:4-11, which reminds us not to live in darkness. By fostering a deep personal relationship with Christ, we can embody faith, hope, and love. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get distracted by daily challenges or societal pressures. However, staying connected to Jesus through prayer, scripture reading, and community support nurtures spiritual growth. Engaging in discussions about faith, being part of a church community, and finding ways to serve others are practical ways to live intentionally. As you reflect on your own life, consider areas that may need more focus or adjustment according to His teachings. Are there habits you could change or relationships that need mending? Remember, living for Christ Jesus means being proactive—acting on your faith and encouraging others while preparing yourself for His second coming. Ultimately, this journey is about becoming a beacon of light in a world that often struggles with darkness. Encourage fellow believers, share testimonies, and cultivate an attitude of gratitude as we await the day He returns. By doing so, we not only strengthen our faith but also build up the community around us.
