Be Ready to Go

From: The Feet: May 2023

Exodus 12:11¹¹And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover. (Exodus 12:11) looks as if the children of Israel were prepared to depart. “Thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand.” What would that bring before us, eating in that way? How long is the Christian supposed to be in this world? The Christian position is to be ever ready to leave. He has not to gird his loins and put his shoes on, but, “Ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord” — waiting for that word to depart.
