Keep watch.



Matt. 24:42–44

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

You're prepping for family to come over when you get the heads-up: "We'll be there in about 5 minutes."

It's time to watch the driveway!

Jesus gives you his ETA for his return, but it isn't as specific. He's coming soon — it could be at any time!

So keep watch for Jesus' return by reading his word and confessing your sin.

When he comes, he'll make all things new again. It won't be long now.

What keeps you from watching and waiting for Jesus? What does Jesus' certain return tell you about his love for you?

Phil. 4:10–13 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through...
