What should Christians focus on while waiting for Christ's return?

While awaiting Christ's return, believers are encouraged to engage actively in serving God and one another. In Mark 13:34-35, the parable of the servants illustrates the expectation that God's people should be diligent and responsible in fulfilling their God-given tasks. This can span various forms of service, from preaching to acts of kindness. Additionally, believers should be vigilant about their spiritual state, ensuring that they are not caught spiritually drowsy or indifferent, as highlighted in Ephesians 6 where watchfulness is tied to spiritual warfare. Such diligence allows believers to reflect Christ’s character and be effective witnesses in a world that often distracts from eternal truths.
