Emphasis Preaching Journal

Matthew tells us that watchfulness is something we must have. But what exactly is watchfulness? We are to be ready, we must be watchful, we must be wise. As we wait for the bridegroom, what is required of us? We know it is wise to be ready and foolish not to be. The coming of the bridegroom will be sudden, after long years of waiting. For followers of Christ, the outward appearance of readiness is not enough. Preparation is needed.
