32 But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch. 35 Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning; 36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. ~ Mark 13:32-37KJV
It’s not enough to just Stay Awake; we need to stay awake and keep watch as well. Keep watch, with all diligence, over our hearts. Why? Because we live in a fallen and depraved world that grows more and more wicked and depraved each and every day, and we do not want to be swept up in their tide.
Neither do we know the day nor the hour when Jesus will break the eastern sky to come back to get us, and we need to be ready. Because even though these words were indeed spoken to the disciples, Jesus was speaking to all Christians. We are to stay awake and watch.
We are to guard your soul in such a way that it fosters a strong desire to know Jesus Christ. To have a real relationship with Him. To have a strong desire for the things of God. To stay awake and prepare for the Second Coming of Christ.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Alert.
