Jesus summed up His teaching on procrastination in today's parable when He said, "Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.” In the parable of the ten foolish virgins He said virtually the same thing: “Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.”
There is a sense of urgency to Jesus' call to ministry because He knows better than we do that our time on earth is swift and fleeting. We only have so many opportunities to say, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Read More...
