Luke 12:32-40 Devotional
If Jesus came back today, would He find our lamps burning bright, or would we scramble to light them? In Jesus's time, a wedding banquet could last hours or even days. Servants did not know exactly when the master would return, but they kept their lamps trimmed and burning and fuel ready, so that at the very moment the door swung open for the master, they were ready.
Now, we are called to live like these servants, not with fear, but spiritually alert in regular prayer and study of the Word of God - active in the service of the church using our gifts for God's Kingdom, and dressed for action with our lamps lit, and ready for our master's return? Jesus Christ is coming!
God bless,
Pastor Moose
