Scripture: Mark 13: 33-37
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Scripture Commentary:

Is the journey we are on leading us away from Jesus?
We go to church, pray, go home, and that’s it. When we leave God’s house, what are we doing next?
Jesus has given us all a task. Are you working at yours? When Jesus returns, what can you say to Our Lord about the task He has given you? Will God find you asleep or doing His work? Are you giving God your best?
Mark chapter 13 tells us how to live while we wait for Jesus’ return. We don’t know the time or the day it will happen. So what are you doing until then?
