Advent 2015 – Week 1 – Thursday


Jesus said to his disciples, 'Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.'  —Luke 12:35-37

Just as the world waiting thousands of years for Jesus to come the first time, so the world is waiting for thousands of years for Jesus to return again.

Ask: Am I ready for Jesus to return? Will He find me alert, ready and waiting for Him?
