Discussion Questions
Date: 31/12/2023
1. In your own words, what does it mean to keep watch/be ready for Christ, and how is this mindset different from inactivity?
2. Are you ready for Jesus' return? If you knew it would be today, would you be ready?
3. What is some evidence that we are true followers of Christ? Do you see this evidence (even if not perfectly) in your own life?
