Jesus emphasizes the sudden and unpredictable nature of His return, urging His disciples to be ready at all times. In Matthew 24:36, He declares that no one knows the day or hour of His coming, highlighting the importance of constant vigilance. He warns that His return will come at an hour they do not expect, likening it to a thief breaking into a house in the night, stressing the need for preparedness since the timing remains unknown. Through various illustrations, such as the flood in Noah's days, the separation of workers in the field, and the contrast between faithful and evil servants, Jesus underscores that His coming will be sudden and without warning. He cautions His followers not to be deceived into thinking His return is delayed, as this leads to carelessness and unfaithfulness. Instead, they must remain watchful, diligently serving and maintaining their spiritual readiness, for He will return at an unexpected moment, and only those who are prepared will be found worthy.
