“Stay awake! For you do not know
on which day your Lord will come.”
MATTHEW 24-42
You are not in darkness for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us stay alert and sober. (1 Thes 5:4-6)
Jesus said: “Stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into.” (Mt 24:42-43)
Concerning times and seasons, you have no need for anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night. When people are saying, “Peace and security,” then sudden disaster comes upon them, like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. (1 Thes 5:1-3)
He who fashioned the heart of each, He who knows all their works (Ps 33:15). God did not destine us for wrath, but to gain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with Him. Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do. (1 Thes 5:9-11)
Now may God Himself, our Father, and our Lord Jesus direct your way and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, so as to strengthen your hearts, to be blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones. Amen. (1 Thes 3:11-13).
Lord Jesus Christ, “You are the Son of God” (Lk 4:41). Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart (Ps 90:12). Fill us at daybreak with Your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days (Ps 90:14).
