Scripture: Luke 12: 37 – 40
37 The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat! 38 He may come in the middle of the night or just before dawn.[d] But whenever he comes, he will reward the servants who are ready. 39 “Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.”
Scripture Commentary: Jesus is waiting for you.
How many times have you said, “I’ll be there in an hour” and you were either late or didn’t show up? The person on the other end was waiting for you but you didn’t come.
We know that Jesus is coming back but we don’t know the day or the time. We live in a time when we think we control everything. When we can’t, we get frustrated and push to get what we want. Jesus said he’s preparing a home for his followers in God’s kingdom. Jesus will return at an unexpected time but this is not meant to be a trap to catch us off guard. His delay gives us time to prepare for his return.
Some of us are still searching for Christ and haven’t yet accepted him as their Lord and Savior. If that is you, you have time to turn things around. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior so that when he returns, you will be part of his heavenly family.
