Jesus teaches us to live with eyes open to His Kingdom—which is already present among us because He is present. Attentive living means we don’t drift through life clinging to what is temporary, but stay awake to what truly matters. Like the people in Noah’s or Lot’s day, it’s easy to be absorbed in daily routines and miss what God is doing. Jesus calls us to watchfulness, readiness, and a willingness to loosen our grip on possessions so we can hold fast to Him. We live today with resurrection hope, alert and anchored in Christ. A sermon on Luke 17:20-37.
