PARABLES (28) - By B.B. John
The Parable of the Watchful Servants, found in Luke 12:35 - 40, urges believers to remain vigilant and ready for the return of Jesus Christ. In the story, Jesus likens His followers to servants who keep their lamps burning and their robes girded, eagerly waiting for their master to return from a wedding feast.
Just as those servants stand ready to open the door the moment their master arrives, we too must live in a constant state of spiritual alertness, preparedness, and faithfulness.
Jesus said, “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately.” (Luke 12:35 - 36, NKJV)
Believers in Christ should be vigilant and prepared for His sudden and unexpected return. It is our sacred duty to be ready and waiting for His second coming. Since no one knows the exact time of Jesus’ return, it is essential to live each day in readiness and faithfulness. The Lord desires that His followers be alert, devoted, and found doing His will when He comes.
We do not know the day or the hour of His return; therefore, let us live each moment in readiness. The Son of Man will come suddenly, like a thief breaking in at an unexpected hour.
“The Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
So, let’s be prepared and keep our lamps burning by keeping our spiritual lives alive through prayer, purity, love, and service.
HOW TO PREPARE
1. Live a life of total obedience, faithfulness, and diligence in your walk with and service to God.
2. Walk daily in fellowship with Jesus, cultivating a heart that listens, prays, and obeys. Be steadfast in prayer, grounded in the Word, and intentional about your communion with Christ through the Holy Spirit.
3. Be mindful of your thoughts, words, and actions, ensuring they reflect Christ’s character and bring glory to God. A watchful servant is one who lives with purpose, purity, and expectation, knowing that at any moment, the Master may return.
THE REWARD
Jesus promises a reward for those who are found faithful and watchful when He comes again. He will reward everyone who remains faithful, alert, and steadfast in their devotion. But those who grow careless and unprepared will face judgment at His coming.
Therefore, let us stay spiritually alive, living each day in readiness for His glorious return. Let us keep our lamps burning and our loins girded for the coming of our Lord.
