What do you think Jesus is admonishing us to watch for---what would constitute someone sleeping? I'm interested in hearing your opinions. |
Be on your guard. Be alert to the trickery of our enemy...the principalities and powers of darkness.
Someone who is sleeping is someone who is not spiritually awake to the spiritual warfare going on around them. They have been lulled into spiritual sleep and are caught up in the affairs of this life. They aren't watching and waiting attentively for Jesus to come back.
