Matthew 24:42 Meaning

The third motive teaches us that the Lord has of set purpose kept from our knowledge the time when Christ shall come. Therefore all should watch and be ready, come when he will.

Matthew 24:42 Meaning – Watch therefore

The uncertainty of the day is an argument for watchfulness, not for indifference.

Robertson, A.T. – Commentary on Matthew  in The Bible for Home & School  (1911)
