Spiritual apathy, doubt and unbelief are a like spiritual drowsiness. The Lord reminds and empowers us to be vigilant, spiritually awake and ready for His return and ready to share the good news of His saving work with the people around us.
We live in very uncertain times. There is truly nothing stable and lasting in this world. Sin and death mean that our certainty must come from outside this world. Our certainty is found only in the life, death and resurrection of Christ, our Savior, for only in Him do we have a righteousness before God.
