Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of WisdomMostră
September 8
Introduction
Today’s reading begins with Peter questioning Jesus’s parable about the watchful servant (see Luke 12:35-40 from yesterday’s reading). By means of another parable, Jesus continues to teach about being faithful. When he speaks of division within households, he confronts his hearers with the challenge of what it means to follow him and embrace his teachings.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 12:48b
[Jesus said:] “Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given.”
