A Servant So Doing

"Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."  Luke 12:43.  Jesus has spoken a parable about watchfulness.  A servant is to watch for the coming of his lord.  The labor must be completed and all things in readiness for the return of the lord.  Jesus is our Lord.  We are His servants who are laboring in His kingdom.  We are to be constantly laboring ever mindful of His return.  The coming of the Lord will not be announced.  The coming will be unexpected.  We are to watch meaning that we are to be in constant readiness.  If our lives are prepared for the return of the Lord Jesus, the time of the return will not be important.  Jesus can come at any time for we are always ready.  The Lord must not come and find us unprepared.  That would be our great loss.  Let us always be mindful that the Lord wants His workers to be engaged in the labor of the kingdom.  Let us always be mindful that the Lord wants our lives prepared for His return.  Jesus says that such watchful servants will be blessed.  The blessings of eternity are for those who are doing His work when He comes.
