Jesus told his disciples that they should be ready at any moment, like a good servant who awaits his master's return from a wedding. A good servant awaits his master because he knows and trusts him, just as the master knows and trusts his servant so that he can leave him in charge. Our faith in God has to be based on our real relationship with God, and when it is good, it gives us hope for the future. Faith and hope, based in reality, work together.
