Matthew 24:44 NIV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 24:40-51

Watch and Work Matthew 24:40-51 There are many comings of the Son of man before the final one to judgment. We may derive the full benefit of our Lord’s words, even though we have arrived at no settled opinion as to the precise order of future events. The hour of our death is as uncertain as that of His coming in the clouds. For each, we should be ready! Watchfulness is keeping awake! We are beset by temptations to sleep. Bunyan said that we are traveling over the Enchanted Ground, the air of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 24:1-51

Passing from the city, the disciples drew their Master's attention to the stones of the Temple, and He told them that this glorious building would be demolished so that no single stone would be left upon another. He went on to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples came to Him privately for more spec& teaching ,on the great subjects suggested by His closing address to the crowds, and His prophecy concerning the Temple. In order to understand the teaching of this chapter we must distinctly... read more

Words After Leaving The Temple About The Destruction Of The Temple And About His Second Coming (24:1-51). a Introduction in which Jesus declares that the Temple will be utterly destroyed (Matthew 24:1-2). b His disciples ask when it will happen, and when the end of the age/world will come (Matthew 24:3). c Jesus describes the troubles and catastrophes soon coming on the world, and the tribulation awaiting the disciples and their followers.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:43-51

In The Light Of His Second Coming All Are To Watch Wisely and Work Faithfully (24:43-51). There now follow a series of parables in which Jesus stresses both the need to watch and the need to work. Indeed their very watchfulness should keep them hard at work, for they are servants waiting for their Master to return, and they must therefore be sure that when He does return they can present to Him an account of work well done. The series begins with a brief exhortation to watch in the same way as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:44

“Therefore be you also ready, for in an hour that you think not, the Son of man comes.” But when it cones down to the coming of the Son of Man we cannot afford to make that mistake. We must be watching all the time, and living in the light of His coming, for He will come at an hour when we do not expect Him. The only way to be ready therefore, is to watch all the time. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

Matthew 24:42 to Matthew 25:13 . Abbreviating Mark 13:33-Haggai :, with its simile of the absent householder, into one verse ( Matthew 24:42; cf. Luke 21:36), Mt. inserts ( a) the short simile of a householder off his guard, ( b) the longer one describing the absent master and the careful and careless stewards (for these cf. Luke 12:39-Galatians :), ( c) the parable of the bridesmaids (Mt. only). At Matthew 25:13 he repeats Mark 13:33, the starting-point of his inserted material. Note... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:42-44

Mark saith, Mark 13:33, Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. What our Lord here meaneth by watching is easily gathered, as well by what went before, where our Saviour had been speaking of the security and luxury of the old world, as by what followeth, Matthew 24:44, where he biddeth them be always ready; and therefore Luke 21:34-36, expounds this thus: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 24:36-51

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Matthew 24:36-51The uncertainty of the end.—We ought to know the season, we cannot know the moment, of the “appearing” of Christ. So the Saviour teaches us here. “Of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the Son Himself,” in a sense (Matthew 24:36). How will the appearing of Christ, in consequence, come on the world? How should the thought of it, meanwhile, tell on the church?I. How it will come on the world.—It will come on it, first, while men, as a... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:43-44

Matthew 24:43-44 The Uncertainty of Life the Great Reason for Holiness. I. With all our consciousness that there is great mercy in the concealment of the future, we cannot question that there would be far more preparation for death under an arrangement which gave notice when life would terminate, than under another which leaves it wholly uncertain. Why, then, is this information withheld? Though we may not be able to show why God draws a veil before coming days, we may certainly determine... read more
