So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. – Matthew 24:44

Indeed, the words “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of preparedness and vigilance while we go about our day to day activities. We are urged to live each day in readiness, with our hearts and minds focused on the teachings of Christ.

This verse calls us to a state of constant readiness, a state of spiritual alertness that transcends the confines of time. We are encouraged to live in a manner that reflects our faith, always mindful of the imminent return of Christ. Let us all learn from the parable of the ten virgins. Let us avoid being like the foolish ones, who had no oil in their lamps and were unprepared when the groom arrived. By being prepared and steadfast in our beliefs, we demonstrate our commitment to living out the principles of love, compassion, and righteousness that Christ exemplified during His time on earth.

May we live each day with a sense of anticipation and preparedness, striving to embody the values of the Kingdom of God in all that we do. As we await His return, let us walk in faith, hope, and love, ever mindful of the eternal truths that guide our lives.
