"Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect," Matthew 24:44.
Who's to be ready? Jesus's people. Why? because he's coming. When's he coming? quickly. but when nobody's expecting it. But when? nobody inside or outside the universe knows. Except for God alone. no angels. not even Jesus. So what? Be ready. Stay awake. Sleepers get swept away like in Noah's flood. Like with religion play actors, hypocrites all. Ready means doing what wise, faithful servants do: nurture God's household.
We meet with a brother or sister today ready and serving one another mutually. And together we give God thanks from our hearts for our hope's reward.
