Illustration of Matthew 24:42-44 NLT

Illustration of Matthew 24:42-44 NLT -- "So always be ready. You don't know the day your Lord will come. Remember this: If the owner of the house knew what time the thief was coming, then the owner would be ready for him. The owner would watch and not let the thief enter his house. So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at a time when you don't expect him."
