Us keeping watch is us staying alert, growing everyday to understand how to live like Christ. We have got to practice what we preach and be able to truly love God unconditionally. We see all the things of the world and it is easy to get caught up in them so when we choose to live by faith we must feed our faith and fill our heart with the love of Christ. Christ’s love for the Father outweighed anything else as He lived here on earth. We too must have the same devotion and passion to live for God and give Him all the glory. At the end of verse 37 it says, “Watch for Him!” Don’t just be looking be living. We are told to ask, seek and knock so don’t be comfortable with your heart, mind and soul, we should be feeding all of them everyday so we can be ready for the day to day crud that will happen in life. Think of how short life really is, and then think how long eternity is. It is hard to imagine but it is amazing when you look at it as Jesus explains it. Amen
Mark 13:35-37 “You, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know when the master of the household will return-in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak. Don’t let Him find you sleeping when he arrives without warning. I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch for Him!”

This makes me think, not only of Christ's coming back for all the Christians, but what about along the way when He comes and takes each of the believers individually to heaven when they lose thier earthly life. I always believed He would come and take us home. If that is the case we should be sure and be ready every minute, no matter how old we are. We never know.
