ARE YOU READY?
This passage in Luke
speaks of servants being prepared for their master to return from a wedding –
having His house in good order, everything prepared, and waiting eagerly for
His return. Jesus is our Master; and as His servants, we should be excellent
stewards of all He has entrusted to us.
However, even more than that, the church is Christ’s bride anticipating
the return of the Bride Groom to present us as “a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish” (Ephesians 5:27). A bride expends great energy to adorn herself
splendidly and waits with butterflies in her stomach for the signal to march
down the aisle to join her groom at the altar. How much effort do we put into
preparing for our Bride Groom to return? Are we adorning ourselves with the
fruit of the Spirit? Are we allowing the Holy Spirit to renew us, revitalize
us, and purify us? Are we ready for the day that Jesus comes to get us and take
us to the home He has prepared for us? (John 14:2-3)
