Luke 12:35-59
Ready, set, go! All races begin with this instruction. This saying is especially true in sprints because how quickly someone gets out of the starting blocks can mean the difference between victory and defeat. As in a race, so we are to be ready for Christ’s return. We need to have eyes open and ears listening. Jesus tells multiple parables in Luke 12 about his return. The main takeaway from all of them is that we need to be ready for when he comes back. If Jesus came back today, would you be ready? We reveal our readiness through our attention to Christ’s return, to our stewardship of what he has given to us, and the way we treat other people. So, if our master comes back today how well are you doing?
Do you have eyes and ears open for the reality of Jesus’ return? Do you recognize everything you have is God’s and use it in a way that honors him? Do you understand the future judgment that Christ will bring; therefore, do you love others in a way that will be rewarded? Christ’s future return should have present implications in all our lives. So, let us live in a way that will allow us to hear “well done good and faithful servant” at Christ’s return (Mt. 25:23).
Father God, help me to live aware of Christ’s coming. Thank you that when he comes back, he will make everything right. Help me to live in a way that reflects that reality today. Amen.
How can you better live in light of Jesus’ return?
