Christ as Man: A Study in Luke

DAY 12 OF 24

What does it say?

Jesus taught about hypocrisy, greed, and worry. He spoke of His mission and emphasized being ready for His return and remaining faithful until that time.

What does it mean?

Jesus commanded His disciples to be ready for His return, which will occur at an unexpected time. He explained how to do this through the use of metaphors. By telling them to “dress in readiness” and keep their lamps lit, He was saying to be prepared to move quickly and live in His light, not in spiritual darkness. Jesus’ picture of His followers as servants waiting for a master’s return showed the immediate response needed upon His arrival, regardless of the hour. At His return, the Lord Jesus Christ will bless, serve, and reward those of His own who are found to be faithful.

How should I respond?

Followers of Christ should live each day as if it might be the day of His return. Are you eagerly watching with anticipation for this event, or are you somewhat apprehensive due to not feeling as prepared as you ought to be? The book of Revelation ends with Jesus telling us that He is coming quickly. So what can you do today to better prepare yourself for the imminent return of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Worship God in Spirit and truth, seek His spiritual kingdom, obey His Word, and serve the Lord faithfully. The result will be a godly, prepared life.

About this Plan

Christ as Man: A Study in Luke

Luke’s Gospel is a beautiful and powerful telling of the life of Jesus. Luke focuses on Jesus as the Son of Man, the foretold Messiah who came to “seek and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). This Gospel shows us the “Upside-Down Kingdom” - that God uses what the world deems foolish and weak to shame the wise and strong.
