Week 3: Jesus Warns Us to be Ready

I know this post is a couple days late, but I did have a reflection. Although I've heard the first question many times, something made me pause and really think about if Jesus would welcome me or not. I always take it for granted that I will make it in to Heaven. I mean I try to do the right thing...I don't break any laws. But I got an unbearably painful image in my head of Jesus saying "I do not know you." The feeling of not being welcomed by the most loving, selfless man and God is indescribable. I'm thankful that God allowed me to understand that even though I do basically the right things, it doesn't mean that I know Him. I pray that my love for Him will grow and be reflected in all of my actions so that He will give me a big welcoming hug when I get to Heaven.
