Matthew 24 warns that the return of Jesus Christ will be sudden and unexpected. Two people may be working side by side, yet one will be taken and the other left. This separation will not be determined by position, reputation, family background, or outward appearance. Acts 10:34–35 declares that God is no respecter of persons, but accepts those who fear Him and walk in righteousness. Matthew 16:13–22 shows that it is also possible to recognize who Jesus is while still resisting what He says. Peter correctly confessed Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but shortly afterward opposed the Lord’s teaching concerning the cross. Therefore, watching means more than expecting Christ’s return. It means knowing who Jesus is, receiving His Word without resistance, submitting to His will, and living every day prepared to meet Him. The command is urgent: “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”
