Wouldn’t it be sweet if this happened?
Cornelius Plantinga:
The point is not that our Lord hopes to catch us napping. Just the opposite. He hopes to catch us wide awake, on the job, eager, expectant, readiness is all.
Yet Jesus’ prediction is that we will be surprised. He will come when we least expect him.
Perhaps one day when we are in church?
