The speaker reflects on his own life and how he has not been living in expectation of Christ's return, unlike others who have made a conscious effort to be ready for it. He shares a story about an elderly woman named Claire who expressed her desire to be on her knees praying or serving when Christ returns, rather than watching a play.

He senses that the world is not going back to normal and that this is a different time we are living in. He wants to be one of those who is ready for Christ's return and encourages others to do the same.
The Bible makes it clear that there will be two people standing at Christ's return, one ready and one not. The speaker quotes Second Peter 3:1-2, where Peter writes that he is stirring up his readers' sincere minds by way of reminder. He notes that those who come with a sincere mind are simply in need of reminders to live for Christ.
However, there are also those who are hardened or have too many other things in their lives to be open to the word of God. The speaker says that it's pointless for them to be present because they are not receptive to the truth. He quotes Jesus' words from Matthew 11:15, "He who has ears, let him hear."
The speaker concludes by saying he wants to stir up his listeners' sincere minds with reminders about Christ's return and encourages them to live in expectation of it.
