Gospel
Luke 12:36-38
Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘See that you are dressed for action and have your lamps lit. Be like men waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Happy those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. I tell you solemnly, he will put on an apron, sit them down at table and wait on them. It may be in the second watch he comes, or in the third, but happy those servants if he finds them ready.’
Reflection
There are a number of passages in the bible talking about readiness. These passages always remind us to be prepared for death which will come at anytime. Two words touches me in this passage. The first is the lamp. The lamp represent living in the light. That means living a spotless life away from the evil one which represent darkness. The second is being prepared. Being prepared means being ready to meet our maker when he calls. In other word being prepared means to live like Christ would live. Are we prepared to meet our maker?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus today you remind us to be prepared at all times because you can recall us at anytime Grant we beseech you to give us the gift to walk in the light as we continue in our journey of faith.
Amen
