My master is long delayed,’
and begins to beat his fellow servants,
and eat and drink with drunkards,
the servant’s master will come on an unexpected day
and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely
and assign him a place with the hypocrites,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.”
The sneak attack from God!
We all have watched videos of animals or small kids left with their favourite treats or candies unsupervised and recorded to watch their urge to resist the temptations as the time passes! So much like us awaiting for the Lord to come down and judge us!
While so much of us is tempted on a daily basis to discredit the Lords teachings and live our earthly lives with no care! The arrival of the Lord at an hour unknown is a warning enough for us to start mending our ways!
I have been struggling with this all my life, we have been trying to get into the worldly system for acceptance and then trying to stick with the faith and virtues and it is extremely hard to please both! We need to put our faith first and work hard to stick by it irrespective of the cost!
Let us show our interest in following scripture by reading, understanding it and avoid falling prey to worldly instant pleasures.
AMEN
