Be like servants waiting to open the door at their master’s knock when he returns from a wedding.
“I wait with hope for you to rescue me, O Lord.
No one has ever heard, no one has paid attention, and no one has seen any god except you. You help those who wait for you.
“Be ready for action, and have your lamps burning.
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I can guarantee this truth: He will change his clothes, make them sit down at the table, and serve them.
Let us rejoice, be happy, and give him glory because it’s time for the marriage of the lamb. His bride has made herself ready.
Look, I’m standing at the door and knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I’ll come in and we’ll eat together.
