Parable of the Watchful Servants
In Mark 13:35-37 and Luke 12:35-40, Jesus speaks to His disciples about the importance of being watchful and prepared for His return. He compares the situation to a master who leaves his servants in charge of his household while he travels. The master instructs the servants to be vigilant and ready for his return, emphasizing that they do not know when he will return.
Jesus urges His followers to stay awake and alert, likening them to servants awaiting their master's return from a wedding feast. He stresses the need for readiness, warning that the master could return at any time—whether in the evening, at midnight, at dawn, or during the day.
The parable underscores the necessity of living in anticipation of Jesus' return and being faithful stewards of the responsibilities God has entrusted to us.
What practical ways can we cultivate a readiness and anticipation mindset for Jesus' return?

Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
