Passing Away
25 Now concerning the betrothed, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. 29 This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31 and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.

Passing Away
Stay awake, hunker down, be prepared, the Lord is on his way. Though it seems like he is slow to arrive, though it seems like he might never come, he is on his way. The way in narrow and he is very specific. He comes for you. The enemies of the church come upon her in violence. Like the Lord says immediately before his passion, be ready with the sword. He means with the sword that his Word. He means that you have been gifted the very things you need. He bids you be content in your places and in your stewardship. He keeps his promises. He has kept his word by dying on the cross for you and rising again. He come again for you soon. The time is short. Stay away, hunker down, be prepared. He comes for you.
