Why does preparation matter in our faith life? Because what we don't prepare for, we could possibly miss. It's not popular language in today's faith circles, but being prepared for Christ's presence is a responsibility and privilege for every believer.

In this Field Note from the Pioneer Assembly, host Bethany Barr Phillips explores the significance of Tuesday of Holy Week, focusing on the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids. She emphasizes the importance of being prepared for Jesus' return and invites listeners to reflect on their faith and commitment. The conversation will encourage and challenge you to be willing to prepare even when it's not popular. 

Takeaways

He doesn’t require a resume of service activities, but He does want us to be ready at all times.

There are consequences for being unprepared.

As followers of Jesus, we must be prepared for His return at any time.

“When He returns is not as important as the fact that we are ready for Him when He does return.” A.W. Tozer
