Luke 12:42-43 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.
In verse 41, Peter asks Jesus whether this parable is for the disciples or for everyone. Jesus answers with the rest of the parable. But when you look at the content of His response, I think the answer is both.
Luke 12:44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
Jesus is instructing the disciples so that they can instruct others after Jesus’s death, before the second coming. In Mark 16:15 NCV, Jesus said to his followers, “Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone.” As followers of Jesus, we are to do the same.
Luke 12:45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
Lord, Forgive us that we get distracted as we wait for You. Help us not to forget that we are to tell everyone the Good News of Your love, Your mercy, Your grace. Help us to stay focused, even when the world tries to steal our attention. Amen.
Luke 12:46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
Have a blessed day.
