Scripture: Luke 12: 39-40, 43
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (39-40) It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. (43)
Scripture Commentary:
We know Jesus is coming. We just don’t know at what hour or day. So the question is are we ready for Jesus’s return? Are we serving Jesus or ourselves?
We shouldn’t just focus on bettering our lifestyle. How can we use what we have to help others?
What are you doing with this life that God has given you?
Jesus said He is returning. This is a true statement. God does not lie. He did not say this to trap us, but to give us time to correct ourselves.
God has blessed us with material rewards. What are we doing with it? Do you boast about what you have or are you using what you have to do God’s work?
Store your treasure in heavenly places.
What we have on earth will pass away but what we store in the heavenly kingdom will last for eternity.
We have the Book on how to live, how to give, and how to love. It’s The Bible. So we cannot say we weren’t told how to be Christ-like here on earth.
