The Gospel According to Luke - Luke 12:35-48

15 March 2026

The sermon centers on Jesus’ call in Luke 12 to live ready for his return. Using the image of servants waiting attentively for their master, it says Christian readiness is not fear-driven gloom but a life of repentance, wakefulness, and love. Jesus warns that his coming will be unexpected, so his people should not drift into spiritual sleep or self-centered living, but stay alert with hearts turned toward him.

It also emphasizes that waiting for Jesus means serving others faithfully with whatever God has entrusted—truth, time, care, and material resources. Those who know much and receive much bear greater responsibility, while those who use their position selfishly face serious judgment. Yet the message is hopeful: Jesus is the good Master who first came to serve, giving his life to cleanse sinners and make them ready. Because of his grace, people can repent today, trust him, and live as faithful servants who bless others while they wait.
