Responsible and Ready

Today’s reading: Luke 12:35-59

“But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:48‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There are many implications from this verse, but here is the one that really resonates with me today:

We are all stewards. God has entrusted us with all that we have. We don’t own any of it, not even our right to be one of His servants.

The challenge today is simple. When it comes to Jesus’ eminent return, we are to be found:
1) Responsible
2) Ready

It is no small thing to imagine time as we know it coming to an end and Jesus coming on the ☁️☁️ of heaven (Daniel 7:13). At that point, all will be uncovered, laid bare. The only way we will be able to stand is by the blood of Jesus, having a tight grip on that salvation, and extending that message of grace to others.

Come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)

Get excited.
Get ready.
