To come, to go, to arrive. Erchomai. Come Lord Jesus. The final prayer of Scripture is an invitation. The church lives in expectation of His return.

One who takes secretly, cunningly — what does not belong to him. Jesus contrasts the thief directly with Himself. The thief comes to drain and destroy life. Jesus comes to give it — not just life, but life overflowing. Know who is at the door.

Blessed, happy, to be envied. Makarios. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Makarios describes the state of those who are right with God. It is deeper than happiness. It is well-being of the soul.

Watch, stay awake, be alert. Grēgoreúō. The disciples were called to watch while Jesus prayed, yet sleep overcame them. Do not let spiritual drowsiness cost you what vigilance would have kept.

To keep, to guard, to observe. Tereo. Keep yourselves in the love of God. Staying in God's love requires active keeping. Do not drift. Make choices that keep you close.

Garment, clothing, cloak. Himátion. Jesus said do not worry about what you will wear, yet soldiers gambled for his himátion at the cross. What we wear matters far less than who we follow. Seek him first.

That, in order that, so that. Hina. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son in order that whoever believes in Him should not perish. The purpose of the cross is clear.

Naked, bare, exposed. Gymnós. Nothing is hidden from God; all things are naked and laid bare before him. Come as you are, not as you wish to appear.

To walk, to live, to conduct oneself. Peripateo. Walk worthy of the calling to which you have been called. How you live is the walking commentary on what you believe.
