Day 12 Luke
Chapter 12
“Be dressed in readiness, and keep your
lamps lit. Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns
from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to
him when he comes and knocks” (vv. 35-36).
Jesus is coming again and He warns us to be ready. I spoke
about this on Day
3 It is imperative to remember that the One is coming again, a time for
which we still must prepare. A time for which we must be ready. Through the
parable, He was teaching us that He will come at a time when we least expect
Him. Several servants were waiting for their master and grew tired; weary from
the wait. They lost hope that He would return. I know that many of us—myself
included—have grown tired waiting for miracles to appear and breakthroughs to
come. I have grown weary at the cold, dark, lost, world that seems to grow
darker by the day.
We must remain constantly waiting. We must be vigilant so
that we can open up to Him when He arrives. If we are waiting diligently for
Him and are awake and ready Jesus said that the master will serve those He finds
waiting.
Be thankful for Christmas, for without Christ’s coming, we
would not have Christmas. All the traditions celebrated at this time of year,
Santa and the like, all find their root in the birth of the Christ child. This
is a beautiful and wonderful time of year, and I am thankful for the glorious
incarnation. But another time is coming for which we must be ready. Let us
reflect on the hush within and how we await that the Christ has come into our
world, but let us continue to look forward to the day that He will come again
as our triumph King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
