“Keep Watch”

November 8, 2026

 

Jesus tells us to “keep watch,” because we do not know the day or the hour when He will return. But what does it actually mean to live watchfully? In the parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids, Jesus gives us a picture of people waiting for the bridegroom, some prepared and some not. As we await Christ’s return, He calls us not to fear or speculation, but to a living faith that receives His grace and is continually nourished by His Word and gifts. So how is your oil? Are you ready for the Bridegroom?
