Big Idea - As Jesus teaches His disciples, and us, about His return, He uses a series of parables to explain that we cannot know the time of His return and, therefore, do not need to spend our energy trying to figure it out. Instead, we need to be ready, and be watching for His return, since it could be at any time. But, what does it mean to be ready? How are we to be watching and waiting? Each parable unpacks different aspects of what it means for us to be watching and be ready for His return.
