Luke 12:35–38

Jesus said to his disciples, “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.”

Reflection

How do I lead my life? Am I always alerted to those false values dressed in sugar coats?

Am I being challenged to recognize Jesus in the guise of a stranger? Do I treasure such opportunities as an encounter with Christ?
