Be Ready for His Coming
42 “So be alert [give strict attention, be cautious and active in faith],
for you do not know which day [whether near or far] your Lord is coming.

what time of the night the thief was coming,
he would have been on the alert and would not have
allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Therefore, you [who follow Me] must also be ready;
because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when
you do not expect Him.
