  • Live expecting Jesus could return at any hour so you remain active and alert.
INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
