Jesus said to his disciples: "Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants." -Luke 12:35-38
“Gird your loins and light your lamps…”, Christ wants us ready to move quickly and allow His light to shine through us. There is so much talk lately of the “End Times”, but Jesus tells us only the Father knows when. If Christ were to come today, would the Master find you vigilant, with His light shining brightly through you? Pray that God will give us the grace we need so that when He knocks, we will be ready to open the door upon His return.
