Why watch? Because it’s all about HIS schedule not yours….
There are several scriptures in the Bible that instruct us to watch for the return of JESUS in rapture. Sadly, most, even, Christians, feel watching isn’t important because their schedules don’t coordinate with GOD’s. One of the main reasons we need to watch is we need to be moving toward the LORD by watching for HIM. If you aren’t watching for the LORD, your focus will be on something else…namely the world. So many are focused on their own plans, unsurrendered to the Will of the FATHER, which is “to watch.”
Most believe HE couldn’t possibly show up when they are getting married…having a child…getting a work promotion…planning a vacation…planning for college…planning for a trip…planning for a new job…planning for retirement…. But that’s just it, HE will come when people are eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, building, planting, working, sleeping….
Mark 13:34 (KJV): 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.
Mark 13:35 (KJV): 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:
Mark 13:37 (KJV): And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Luke 12:37 (KJV): Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Luke 12:39 (KJV): And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Luke 21:36 (KJV): Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
