Matthew 24:42-51

Listen to Matthew 24:42-51
42 So stay alert, because you don't know on what day your Lord will come.
43 But you do know this: had the owner of the house known when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
44 Therefore you too must always be ready, for the Son of Man will come when you are not expecting him.
45 "Who is the faithful and sensible servant whose master puts him in charge of the household staff, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 It will go well with that servant if he is found doing his job when his master comes.
47 Yes, I tell you that he will put him in charge of all he owns.
48 But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, `My master is taking his time';
49 and he starts beating up his fellow servants and spends his time eating and drinking with drunkards;
50 then his master will come on a day the servant does not expect, at a time he doesn't know;
51 and he will cut him in two and put him with the hypocrites, where people will wail and grind their teeth!
