"If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 12:38-40 (ESV) “A great commander was engaged in besieging a strongly fortified city. After a while he concentrated his forces at a point where the fortifications were stronger than at any other, and at 2 p.m., under a bright sun and a clear sky, ordered an assault. When expostulated with by an under officer, the commander replied, 'At this point such a general is in command. At this hour of the day he is invariably accustomed to retire for a long sleep. When informed of our approach he will deny the fact, and send a messenger for information. Before the messenger returns we shall gain possession of the fortress.' The facts turned out exactly as predicted. 'Yonder weak point,' said the commander, ‘is held by General—There is no use in attempting to surprise him; he is never for a moment off his guard.'" (Biblical Illustrator) Jesus made it clear. He is returning. Therefore, He will return. Are we ready and waiting? |
