Luke 12:35-37 Common English Bible Translation
“Be dressed for service to keep your lamps lit. Be like people waiting for their master to come home from a wedding celebration, who can immediately open the door for him when he arrives and knocks on the door. Happy are those servants whom the master finds waiting up when he arrives. I assure you that, when he arrives, he will dress himself to serve, seat them at the table as honored guests, and wait on them. (Question: What are the things in life that you enjoy preparing for on a regular basis?)
Hymn 623 I’ve Got Peace like a River (In Person Only)
(verse 2)
Luke 12:38-40
Happy are those whom he finds alert, even if he comes at midnight or just before dawn. But know this, if the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he wouldn’t have allowed his home to be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Human One is coming at time when you don’t expect him.” (Question: What are the things that really matter in your life?)
Luke 12:41-44
Peter said, “Lord are you telling this parable for us or for everyone?” The Lord replied, “Who are the faithful and wise managers whom the master will put in charge of his household servants, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy are the servants whom the master finds fulfilling their responsibilities when he comes. I assure you that the master will put them in charge of all his possessions. (Question: What are the responsibilities in life that you enjoy?)
Hymn 623 I’ve Got Peace like a River (In Person Only)
(verse 3)
Luke 12:45
“But suppose that these servants should say to themselves, my master is taking his time about coming. And suppose they began to beat the servants, both men and women, and to eat, drink, and get drunk. (Question: Have you ever squandered your time on things you come to regret?)
Anthem (In Person Only)
Luke 12:46-48
The master of these servants would come on a day when they weren’t expecting him, at a time they couldn’t predict. The master will cut them into pieces and assign them a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master’s will but didn’t prepare for it or act on it will be beaten severely. The one who didn’t know the master’s will but who did things deserving punishment will be beaten only a little. Much will be demanded from everyone who has been given much, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked. (Question: What are the things you need to make time for in your life and what are the things you need to let go of?)
