Mark 13:34-37- For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
*Three times in these verses Jesus exhorts them to “watch” for His return.
The Command to Watch!
*to watch means to…
Observe! (look around)
Follow! (obedience)
Attend! (work your field)
Mark! (avoid)
Regard! (pay close attention to)
Listen! (hear)
Wait! (be patient)

**How well are you watching for Him to come? It could be today!
