Luke 12:35-40 Be ready! Be fully dressed and have your lights shining. Be like servants who are waiting for their master to come home from a wedding party. The master comes and knocks, and the servants immediately open the door for him. When their master sees that they are ready and waiting for him, it will be a great day for those servants. I can tell you without a doubt, the master will get himself ready to serve a meal and tell the servants to sit down. Then he will serve them. Those servants might have to wait until midnight or later for their master. But they will be glad they did when he comes in and finds them still waiting. "Remember this: If the owner of the house knew what time a thief was coming, he would not allow the thief to enter his house. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at a time when you don't expect him!"

Let me ask you, if Jesus came back, say, tomorrow afternoon and took a look at how you’re living your life, what exactly would He find?

The easiest thing for any employee to do is to slacken off when they think no one’s watching. You know, the boss isn’t around – maybe she’s gone on a trip this week – and so hey, let’s take our foot off the pedal. I mean, there’s no sense in killing yourself, after all. Who’s going to notice?

And isn’t it easy for us to live out our faith in Jesus that way too. Who’s going to notice? Jesus once said this:

Luke 12:35-40 Be ready! Be fully dressed and have your lights shining. Be like servants who are waiting for their master to come home from a wedding party. The master comes and knocks, and the servants immediately open the door for him.

When their master sees that they are ready and waiting for him, it will be a great day for those servants. I can tell you without a doubt, the master will get himself ready to serve a meal and tell the servants to sit down. Then he will serve them. Those servants might have to wait until midnight or later for their master. But they will be glad they did when he comes in and finds them still waiting.

“Remember this: If the owner of the house knew what time a thief was coming, he would not allow the thief to enter his house. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at a time when you don’t expect him!”

So are you, right now, living your life in a way that tells Jesus that you’re ready … or not?

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
