WATCHING

Friday evening as the sun set in Jerusalem a new month began. A few days earlier aviv barley was reported by Karaite Jews in the fields of Israel.

So what does this matter to believers in America today?

Why should we care about an archaic calendar and Jewish traditions that we know nor care little about?

Jesus Himself gives us a clue, "Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

Jesus was talking to His disciples about His return. His admonition in a word: WATCH!

I'm watching. Are you?
