DAILY READINGS: Judges 5; Isaiah 26; 1 Corinthians 5
Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. John 11:24
Martha believed that her beloved brother had seen his last day on earth, but she did anticipate that he would rise again at the “last day.” That day lies ahead for all of us. How will it be for you when it arrives? The rich fool thought he had a long day ahead to enjoy his accomplishments. He was wrong. That night was his “last day” (Lk. 12:20). Paul was ever ready for his last day—because for him to live was Christ, and to die was gain (Phil. 1:21). Are you ready for your last day? Are you prepared to meet your God? —K. C. Ung
There’s a great day coming by and by,
When the saints and the sinners shall be parted right and left,
Are you ready for that day to come? —Will L. Thompson
