like men who are waiting for their master to return from a wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door for him when he comes and knocks.
“Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning,
Blessed are those servants whom their master finds keeping watch when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table, and he will come and serve them.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.
