We often think that as long as we are near the things of God or the people of God, then we are ready for the return of Christ, but it is only when the oil of God, the Holy Spirit, is in us that we are truly ready. Christ died in order to cleanse us from sin and make us holy enough to be vessels for His Spirit. Then, after his resurrection, he gained the power to breathe his Spirit on all who have faith in him. When we are sealed and filled with the Holy Spirit, we are truly ready for Christ to come back.
