Engaging the Lordship of Jesus

Engaging the Lordship of Jesus
In the Homily, it sites a scientific study that says that we are moved when we hear a story read aloud.
Not when we read privately. But when we hear a reading, read aloud with others in our presence, our hearts become impacted.
In the Gospel today, Our Lord speaks of the day in the future, in which He will return again. On that day, the Lord will place all things in order intended by God. The Lord, who knows our hearts, gives us some very important instructions within this Gospel.
When the day comes, these will be the signs. The audio goes on and discusses this in detail. When the day comes, you will not miss it or confuse it with any other! The implication is for us not to confuse every storm or conflict between nations as the sign of His coming! You will know it when the day arrives! When it comes, it will impact everyone. Everyone will recognize it at once!
Why is this important? The Christian heart is fascinated with predicting the end. When we fall into this trap, we lose the beauty of the present moment by worrying about tomorrow. Jesus does not want us to be caught up in this fascination. He wants us to get ready for His Coming!
How does Jesus wants us to get ready? It is by asking about the real condition of my heart! When He returns, will He find us looking (and waiting) for Him? Or will we be busy about other things?
