The call to be ready underscores the unpredictable nature of the return of Jesus, referred to here as the Son of Man. This title highlights Jesus' role as both a divine and human figure, central to Christian belief. The emphasis is on the suddenness of this event, which will occur when least expected. For believers, this is a reminder to live each day with purpose and integrity, embodying the teachings of Christ in everyday actions. Spiritual readiness involves a commitment to faith, an active relationship with God, and a lifestyle that mirrors the values of love, justice, and compassion. This preparedness is not about fear or anxiety but about a hopeful anticipation and a life that consistently seeks to honor God. By focusing on spiritual growth and ethical living, believers can maintain a state of readiness, ensuring that they are aligned with God's purposes whenever the moment arrives.
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
