Episode notes
Keep A Posture Of Readiness
- Keep a posture of readiness: 'keep your loins girded' and 'keep your lamps burning.'
- Live expecting Jesus could return at any hour so you remain active and alert.
Readiness Distinguishes True Disciples
- Jesus directs the warning to his followers, not only outsiders.
- Mere church activity doesn't guarantee genuine discipleship; living ready does.
Manage Resources For The Master
- Act as a steward: manage what God entrusted to you for his purposes, not personal indulgence.
- Avoid commandeering resources; use them to serve others and the master's mission.
