Luke 12: 35 – 39

The parable about the servants is a call to remain ready and alert for the Master’s return. The parable also asks the question, ‘How are the disciples to behave between the two comings of Jesus?’ While the text is about the final return of Jesus, we can also think about being watchful for the moments when Jesus suddenly appears, for example, in a sick friend, a beggar on the street, a person in need, a moment of prayer or reflection. These moments ultimately prepare us for His final coming.
