The theme of Christ's 2nd coming carries over from the previous weeks as we enter into Advent.
Christ urges His listeners to be on watch and alert for His coming.
This command to watch for Him, calls us to repentance, to order our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him as we do His works.
Furthermore, we live knowing that, as St. Paul so eloquently writes, God has equipped us with all we need to stand firm until the end, when we see the full revelation of Jesus Christ.
We also make ourselves fully aware of how He is present to us even now. He is shining a light into our darkness that gives us great hope, which is a light that we shine in the darkness.
