Luke 12: 35-48

Jesus calls His followers to live alert, faithful, and ready for His return. Using parables of watchful servants and a faithful steward, He teaches that blessing comes to those who remain obedient and diligent while the master is away. Those given greater responsibility will be held to a higher standard, and neglect or abuse of that trust brings judgment. This passage emphasizes readiness, faithfulness, and accountability before God.

Luke 12:13-34

"Jesus warns against greed and teaches that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions. Through the parable of the rich fool, He exposes the danger of storing up earthly wealth while neglecting one’s relationship with God. Jesus then calls His disciples to trust God’s provision, reminding them that the Father cares for their needs just as He cares for the birds and the flowers. Instead of anxiety and material pursuit, believers are urged to seek God’s kingdom, store up treasures in heaven, and live with generous, watchful hearts—because where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Luke 12:1-12

"Jesus warns the crowd against hypocrisy, urging His followers to live truthfully because nothing hidden will remain concealed. He teaches them to fear God rather than people, assuring that God values them deeply—even numbering their hairs. Jesus declares that those who confess Him before others will be acknowledged before God, but those who deny Him will face denial. He also cautions against blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Finally, Jesus encourages His disciples not to worry about what to say when they face opposition, as the Holy Spirit will give them the words they need."
