So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him

Matthew 24:36-51

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 

But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The good and bad servants. Because his return will be unexpected. Jesus' followers must always be ready.

Why?

Jesus' coming time is unexpected, so we have to be ready for Jesus. 

The days of Noah will be the same as the coming of the Son of Man. People were eating and drinking, marrying as usual. But one will be taken and the other left on earth. There is no way to regret for his sins.

All of Christians are the servant of the Lord, only the good servant will be saved and rewarded by the Lord.

1.在人一般生活中就來了。一般人根本不在意末日到了的信息，不知不覺中耶穌就來了。

2.v40-41:如何預備主再來呢?耶穌來時，取一個放棄一個，被取的人一定是預備好，而且在田中，在推磨，一樣在工作！仍然在做今天本來該做的事。

3.45-51: 為什麼同樣在工作，有人被取，有人被撇下。有人為主而做，知道我們是僕人是管理者，主才是擁有者。惡僕人不按時分糧，分糧也是按照私意，所做的都是為自己。

How?

Be ready in case Jesus will come today, and do the job that God has told us.
