As to when heaven and earth will be destroyed, Jesus elaborated, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only." (Matthew 24:36) At the Divine Service on 27 November 2022, Pastor Soh explained how Christians should not be indifferent to Christ's second coming. The signs are clear. Like Noah's ark, the cross of our Lord is both a warning and a vessel of salvation. We must be spiritually prepared for the end days. While Noah's Ark was visible to all till the great flood came, where is the wooden cross upon which Jesus was crucified? The artefact has perished after 2,000 years. Instead, the cross is to be found in God's word and the holy sacraments. After regeneration through baptism, Christians ought to live a life of repentance by God's grace through the sacraments and fellowship of the church. As we witnessed the baptism of new members today, we must not forget our own baptismal profession, that we should endeavoring to lead God-centred lives, love our neighbors, be members of the community of saints in our commitment to care groups.
