Luke 12:35-38 The Message (MSG)
“Keep your shirts on; keep the lights on! Be like house servants waiting for their master to come back from his honeymoon, awake and ready to open the door when he arrives and knocks.

It doesn’t matter what time of the night he arrives; they’re awake—and so blessed!
