In the world of Christ there are those who say that we will never know when He is returning and so we wait flippantly for His return. Then there are those who say His return is imminent and they are so focused on it that they cannot function in anything else. But what does His word say? Jesus said to know the times. We cannot know the date, but we can know the times. And in those times we are to wait for Him eagerly, while still maintaining that which He has assigned us to. For some that's caring for other servants. For some it's doing the task of preaching, or healing, or sharing Him in the workforce. Wherever you have found yourself assigned, do it to His glory while still keeping an eye open and a lamp full and ready for His return. He is only like a thief in the night for those who are not watching. For the others it's like the man returning from a trip to servants who have been awaiting his return.
