| Geneva Study Bible {11} Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. (11) An example of the horrible carelessness of men in those things in which they ought to be most careful. People's New Testament 24:42 Watch therefore. Because the coming will be unexpected. Mark adds, and pray (Mr 13:33). Wesley's Notes 24:42 Ye know not what hour your Lord cometh - Either to require your soul of you, or to avenge himself of this nation. Mark 13:33; Luke 12:35; 21:34. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 24:42-51 To watch for Christ's coming, is to maintain that temper of mind which we would be willing that our Lord should find us in. We know we have but a little time to live, we cannot know that we have a long time to live; much less do we know the time fixed for the judgment. Our Lord's coming will be happy to those that shall be found ready, but very dreadful to those that are not. If a man, professing to be the servant of Christ, be an unbeliever, covetous, ambitious, or a lover of pleasure, he will be cut off. Those who choose the world for their portion in this life, will have hell for their portion in the other life. May our Lord, when he cometh, pronounce us blessed, and present us to the Father, washed in his blood, purified by his Spirit, and fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. |
