In Matthew 24:40–41, Jesus gives one of the most sobering pictures in all of Scripture.

Two people are side by side, doing ordinary everyday work—and in an instant, one is taken and the other is left.

Same place. Same moment. Same routine.
 But two completely different eternities.

Jesus is showing us something serious: proximity to faith is not the same as belonging to Christ.
Growing up in church, being around believers, or living a “good” life does not save anyone. Salvation is personal. It comes through a real relationship with Jesus.

And that should wake us up.

Because the people Jesus is talking about are often not strangers—they’re the people right next to us every day: friends, family, coworkers, neighbors.

If we truly believe Jesus is coming back, then silence is not love.

This is not the time to coast spiritually.
 This is the time to move with urgency.

Don’t walk. Sprint.

Sprint to share what Jesus has done in your life. Sprint to tell the people you love the truth while there is still time.

Because one day, the opportunity to respond will be over.

Big Question:
Who are 2–3 people in your life who may not truly know Jesus?

Challenge:
Start one spiritual conversation this week. Don’t wait for the perfect moment—create it. Share what Jesus has done in your life and why your faith matters.

Prayer:
Lord, give me courage to speak boldly and love people enough to tell them the truth. Show me who needs to hear about You, and use my life to point them to Jesus while there is still time. Amen.
