How should Jesus' second coming affect us and how can we prepare for it? What extremes does Paul Warn against?

There is no need to write you, friends, about the times and occasions when these things will happen.

~I Thessalonians 5:1

 

I think we will see two sides to this.  One, those who do consider Jesus as their savior will be happy to see the second coming, and second, those that have not come to such a conclusion will be fearful.  But one thing is for sure: Christian or not, we will all be judge justly in the end.
