35 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
As the bride of Jesus Christ we must be ready for His return, just as this wedding ceremony had the servants wait expectantly and ready. They watched, waited, and ended up being served and fed by their master as a reward for their devotion. So must we be until Christ returns for us - except we are both servants and His bride, the body of changed believers. Are we ready?
