Luke 21:34–36

Lord, I am not worthy to receive You but only say the word and my soul will be healed!

Luke 21:34–36

34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Reminiscent of the seed sown among the thorns in the parable of the sower. There will be a  universality of judgment by God. Faithlife Bible.

Though the events of the end times may not come to pass for a long time, believers should continue to look for their arrival. The Day of Jesus’ return should not take us by surprise. We should live as if it is imminent. Jesus encouraged His disciples to be persistent in prayer and faith, looking for the day when the Son of Man exonerates the faithful in the judgment, so that they are able to stand before Him. NKJ Bible.

Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

Mark 4:19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Luke 12:40 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
