In the teachings of Jesus, he emphasizes the importance of watchfulness and readiness for his second coming. He urges his followers to be vigilant and prepared at all times, as they do not know when he will return. Jesus uses parables such as the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) and the parable of the faithful servant (Matthew 24:45-51) to illustrate the need for readiness and watchfulness.

He warns against complacency and urges his disciples to be faithful and obedient, always seeking to do the will of God. By being watchful and prepared, believers can ensure that they are ready to meet Jesus when he comes again and receive their reward.
