Verse 40. Be ye therefore ready also<\/B><\/I>] It is pretty evident that what is related here, from verse 35<\/span> to 49<\/span>, Lu 12:35-49<\/span> was spoken by our Lord at another time. See Mt 24:42<\/span>, &c., and the notes there.<\/P><\/p>\n Be ye therefore ready also<\/strong>,…. Not habitually, but actually, in the exercise of grace, and the discharge of duty, with loins girt, and lights burning. This may be understood either of a readiness to meet the Lord in the way of his judgments, and particularly the destruction of Jerusalem, which was to be in a few years; or of a preparation for death, and the last judgment, which lies in the righteousness of Christ imputed, and his grace imparted: and to have a comfortable view of the one, and a gracious experience of the other, as they will engage to the performance of good works, to which such are ready; so they make meet for the coming of Christ, be it in what way, and whensoever it will: and the rather, a concern should be had for such a preparation, because of the following reason,<\/p>\n for the son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not<\/strong>; in either of the above ways; [See comments on Mt 24:44]<\/span>.<\/p>\n Be ye <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>).

The judgment day lies in the unknown future. It may be to-day; it may be myriads of years hence. We may be mistaken in placing it nearer than it is, or making it more distant. Even our interpretations of those prophecies which seem to us at the present time to indicate that the day is distant, may be wrong; for prophecy is designedly obscure, in accordance with the law that the future must be profoundly hid from mortal knowledge. But, on the other hand, near two thousand years have passed since these warnings of our Lord were given, and those were certainly mistaken who have, during every age from the apostles to the present day, fixed the time as to be in their own generation. On this very subject it is that the apostle warns us that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years. (See 2Pe 3:8<\/span>.) This night of the master’s absence is to be measured by the chronology of eternity, by the arithmetic of infinity; for it is the eternal and infinite One that speaks. Yet it is plain from many scriptures that when the Lord does come it will be upon an unsuspecting world.<\/p>\n “You be also ready, for in an hour that you think not the Son of man comes.”<\/p>\n The lesson of both parables is then made clear. All are to be ready because the Son of Man will come in the very hour that He is not expected. Many in the crowd would be thinking in terms of the coming Messiah. Others might have gathered that Jesus was the Son of Man and have been puzzled. They may have related it to the way in which He kept arriving and then departing. But the disciples should have recognise that it had a deeper meaning, for they had been informed of His soon Departure and resurrection, while the early church would apply it totally to the second coming.<\/p>\n 40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 40.

By using the title "Son of Man" Jesus may have been implying that the coming of the Son of Man that Daniel had predicted was in view (Dan 7:13-14). That prophecy dealt with His coming in glory to rule. Elsewhere Jesus said He did not know the time of His return (Mat 24:36). However, it would be unexpected because the exact day and hour were unknown, and His return would surprise many people (cf. Mat 24:36; Mat 24:42; Mat 24:44; Mat 25:13; Mar 13:32-33; Mar 13:35).<\/p>\n Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Verse 40.
