We just recently read Luke 12. Here is a passage that stood out.
42And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?
43"Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.
44"Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
45"But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;
46the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47"And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,
48but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
One of the things that stand out to me about this certain passage is the fact we should not wait till God comes back till we start trying to do his will. If you are an employer and you tell your employee something to do, you would expect them to be doing what you said? And you would be pleased if they were, but if your employee didn’t even do what you had given them to do. You would fire them. Jesus has told us what to do. So we should do it so that when he comes back he will put us “in charge of all his possessions.”
