Leaaon Text: Luke 12:35-48
Somehow it seems particularly ap
propriate that we end thia year's
lessons with an admonition to faith
fulness.' With a brand new yea just
a few days off, Jesus's words, as to
what is expected of his followers
'ought to be a challenge to all! Christians-n
resolve to live mnr faitli.
fullyinp in the coming year.
j in order to live one's life fully
and faithfully as a Christian shnniw
we have to prepare ourselves for liv
ing and making ready for dying and
the life hereafter. Peraei

physical needs (which is proper in
its place), Jesus purged that they
place his kingdom first and ba lw
preparew for his return.
In order to make his meaning
clearer to his listeners, Jesus related
me story or the master whn tnnnA
his servants faithful and 'waiting for
fum, wnereupon he rewarded them.
In a similar parable Jesus Hm-lnroH
that the master of the house does not
Know at. what hour the thief may
come and, for this reason, he must
be constantly on his guard to pro
tect his possessions. He applied the
message of these parables to his dis
ciple in the words: "Be ye also
ready: for in an hour that ye think
not, the Son of man cometh."
. There are two phases in life for
which we must be prepared. We
must prepare ourselves to Qive life
at its fullest and best. This natur
ally includes the proper cultivation
and development of the three-fold
nature of an individual his body,
his mind and his soul. We should
not deveQop either nature., overlook
ing any other. Many people anx
iously watch the development of
their physical beings, doing every
thing necessary to the proper care
of their bodies, with never a thought
to the culture of their mental or
spiritual natures.
There are parents in every com
munity who see to it, even to the
point of personal sacrifice, that their
children have the necesasry require
ments for proper development of
their bodies who, apparently, have no
thought to the development of their
children's spiritual or mental nature.
,lThe second phase for which we
must be prepared is Christ's second
coming. At times people have be
come very excited about the return
of our Lord, even to the extent of
predicting the exact day and time.
Some have sold their property, left
the everyday world and gathered on a
high mountain so as tn ho.
the first to greet him. Luke declar
es, ine ion of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not." Mark also
declares: "But that a t,a t,..
""J u JIVUt
knoweth no man, no, not the angel's
are m neaven, neither the Son
but the Father. Take ye heed, watch
and pray: for ye know not when the
ume is."
We do not need to concern our
selves over the time. Our Mat
cern is that we shall always dive so
as to be ready when he does come.
Readiness for his second comfoig can

telling others of his

trained cannot hope to win the race.
The Christian who has not given
some thought to his preparation can
not hope to merit the reward given
for faithful stewardship.
