‏ Matthew 24:43-44

If the goodman of the house, etc. "Master of the house" (Revised Version). The lesson of the illustration is a constant state of preparation. Elsewhere in the New Testament Christ's coming is compared to that of a thief in the night (1Th 5:1-10 Re 3:3 16:15). Be ye also ready. The duty enjoined is not to watch for Christ, but to watch ourselves to see that we are ready.
