Friday, January 24th | Matthew 24

Passage:
36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
(Matthew 24:36-44 ESV)

Song:
Even So Come - Passion, Kristian Stanfill

Lyrics:
All of creation
All of the earth
Make straight a highway
A path for the Lord
Jesus is coming soon

Call back the sinner
Wake up the saint
Let every nation shout of Your fame
Jesus is coming soon

Like a bride waiting for her groom
We'll be a Church ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus, come

Even so come
Lord Jesus, come

There will be justice
All will be new
Your name forever
Faithful and true
Jesus is coming soon

Like a bride waiting for her groom
We'll be a Church ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing
Even so come
Lord Jesus, come

Even so come
Lord Jesus, come

So we wait
We wait for You
God, we wait
You're coming soon

So we wait
We wait for You
God, we wait
You're coming soon

Like a bride waiting for her groom
We'll be a Church ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing

Like a bride waiting for her groom
We'll be a Church ready for You
Every heart longing for our King
We sing

Even so come
Lord Jesus, come

Prayer:
Almighty God, give us grace, that we may cast away the works
of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in the
time of this mortal life (in which your Son Jesus Christ came
to visit us in great humility); that in the last day when he shall
come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living
and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and
forever. Amen.
-Book of Common Prayer (1552)
