"For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day." v. 24
With all the talk about the end of the world, this is a great verse. We might be able to see the signs of a storm coming and hear the roar of thunder but like lightening, we don't know when or where it will strike. We just need to be ready...to have a longing for His physical return and desire to want to meet Him face to face. I've been pretty down lately, and tired of work...just kind of tired of my life...a desire to see His face is easy to feel at this point - to give me rest. I guess that is kind of a selfish desire...
The story of the ten lepers reminds me to alway have a thankful heart. Out of the ten lepers, only one returned to say thank-you for the healing - the foreigner. The nine Jewish men did not. "...he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him." v. 16
