The Importance of watching for Christ's Coming. Mark 13: 32-37 – "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is." We can see from these verses that no one except the Father in heaven is going to know the day or the hour in which our Lord will come back in His glorious Second Coming. Not even the Son, Himself knows; that is; according to His human nature. Even the angels do not know when He shall return. In verse 33, Jesus says that on this basis that we do not know, that we should be persons who take heed, and watch, and pray. For none of us knows when the time is. What kind of watching is the Lord Jesus looking for, from all Christian people? I believe that it is our looking to see if we are prepared to meet Him, through our death, which could really take place at any time. It is in this sense that He could come for us at any time. We should be ready and prepared to meet Him in the most important sense possible; that of thinking through whether we have not only repented of all of our sins, but that we have been praying about having a consistent walk with Him in righteousness and godliness, and have been cultivating consistent fellowship with Him each and every day of our Christian life.
