To read the texts click on the texts: Dan 7:15-27; Lk 21:34-36
These
verses are the conclusion of the Eschatological Discourse, and in them, Luke
composes an exhortation that stresses constant watchfulness and prayer as
opposed to drunkenness and dissipation. The reason for alertness is because the
day can come at any time. The final verse introduces a positive exhortation.
The opposite of sleep and dissipation is vigilance and prayer. The final verse
of the discourse calls for constant alertness and prayer, so that one will be
able to stand before the Son of Man with dignity and honour. Life itself must
be prayer.
Some
of us regard being good as a burden. This is because we wrongly associate with
seriousness and a lack of joy. On the contrary, a good person and holy person
is primarily a joyful person. Such a person enjoys every moment of every day
and lives it fully. Such a person leaves nothing undone and therefore will be
ready at all times.
