Yes and no. I'm confident that I will be going to heaven when Jesus returns for His people, so in that sense, yes, I'm ready for Him to come back. I'm ready for heaven, where imperfection doesn't exist. But I'm not ready because I'm still young, and assuming He doesn't return in my lifetime, I still have several decades ahead of me. I'm not ready to be taken away to heaven, but not because I want to live out my life on earth first. Those decades ahead of me are all the years I have to devote to bringing the gospel to people who have never heard it before. The purpose of all Christians on earth is to make the name of Jesus known in all the earth, and we should not be ready for heaven until we have done so. Luckily for us, Matthew 24:14 says, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." So until the whole world has heard of Jesus, the end won't come, so it's our responsibility to usher in the return of the Messiah. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:20, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."
In other words, yes, I'm ready because Christ has begun a work in me that He has promised to finish. But I am not ready because His work through me has not been finished yet.
