Stay Awake and Be Ready
Keep awake, therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect
Matthew 24:42-44
Jesus' teaching on his return, given on the Mount of Olives days before his death: the hour is unknown, therefore the readiness must be constant.
Every scheme for calculating the day dies against this command: the not-knowing is by design. Watchfulness is not anxiety about the calendar but a settled way of living in which his arrival, whenever it comes, would interrupt nothing you would be ashamed of and complete everything you have been about.
Live this week arrival-ready: accounts settled, forgiveness current, work faithful, hope out loud. Readiness is not an event you prepare for. It is a condition you maintain.
