John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 21:34

Take heed, lest at any time your hearts be overloaded with gluttony and drunkenness — And was there need to warn the apostles themselves against such sins as these? Then surely there is reason to warn even strong Christians against the very grossest sins. Neither are we wise, if we think ourselves out of the reach of any sin: and so that day — Of judgment or of death, come upon you, even you that are not of this world — Unawares. Matthew 24:42; Mark 13:33; Luke 12:35.
