Ep. 104: Watchfulness

LUKE 12:35-48

Jesus had taught that each one had work to do for him and this was not to be neglected. The faithful steward, to whom the Master had entrusted the care of his household to supply his faithful ones, is to be rewarded by advancement to a far more responsible work. On the other hand, belief in the delay of the Lord’s Return would lead to neglect of the Master’s work, to unfaithfulness, tyranny, self-indulgence and sin. And when the Lord suddenly came, as certainly he would come, there would be not only loss, but damage, hurt, and the punishment awarded to the hypocrites. Hence, let the Church be ever on her watch, let her ever be in readiness! And how terribly the moral consequences of unreadiness and the punishment threatened, have ensued, as the history of the Church during these twenty centuries has only too often and too sadly shown.
