雖然閃電有時候讓人感到害怕，但我卻喜歡看閃電劃過天空的景象，閃電發出的顏色往往令人讚嘆。
閃電的速度可以高達每秒6,000公里，這是非常快的速度！在今天讀的經文中，耶穌用閃電來比喻祂的再來：「正像閃電橫掃天空，從天的這邊照射到天的那邊，人子來臨的日子也是這樣」（第24節）。這個經節告訴我，當耶穌再來時，所有人都可以看見祂，而且，這件事會很快發生。
耶穌也在馬可福音13:32提到：「至於那要臨到的日子和時間，沒有人知道；天上的天使不知道，兒子也不知道，只有父親知道。」因為耶穌的再來會很快發生，我們要隨時作好預備。
聖經教導我們要如何跟上帝有一個合宜的關係，你要研讀並遵行上帝的話語，這樣你就可以準備好面見耶穌！ —JK

「我們……在一剎那、一眨眼間，最後的號角響的時候，都要改變。最後的號角一響，死人要復活而成為不朽壞的。」 哥林多前書15:52a

禱告：上帝，我願為耶穌的再來作好預備。奉主的名，阿們！

Bible Reading: Luke 17:24-30

　Although lightning can sometimes be scary, I love to watch lightning steak across the sky. Often the colors in lightning are amazing.
A lightning bolt moves at 3,700miles per second. That is very fast! In our Bible Reading, Jesus compares His return to earth with lightning. “When the Son of Man comes again, you will know it. On that day he will shine like lightning flashes across the sky” (verse 24). This verse tells me that when Jesus comes again, all people will be able to see Him. And, it will happen very fast.
Jesus also talked about that day in Mark 13:32: “No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven don't know when that day or time will be . Only the Father knows.” Because Jesus' coming will happen very fast, we need to always be ready.
The Bible teaches us how to have a right relationship with God. Study and obey God’s Word. Then you will be ready to meet Jesus! —JK

“It will only take the time of a second. We will be changed as quickly as an eye blinks. This will happen when the last trumpet blows. The trumpet will blow and those who have died will be raised to live forever.” 1 Corinthians 15:52a

PRAYER: God, I want to be ready for Jesus. In His name. Amen.
