To read the texts click on the texts: Eph 2:12-22; Lk 12:35-38
The sayings in these verses are a call
to watchfulness and readiness. The call to be dressed for action would mean
literally to draw up the longer outer garment and tuck it into the sash around
one’s waist so as to be prepared for strenuous activity. If the
servants/disciples are so ready, they will be able to be prompt in responding
to the master’s knock, and will be blessed. This blessing will take the form of
a reversal of roles. The master will become servant/slave. The time of the
coming of the master is not known and he may come at any time, but if the
servant/disciple is always ready, he/she will be blessed.
It is not difficult for us as Christians
to relate to this reversal of roles, simply because our God in Jesus has
already become slave. It is now left to us as servants to be ready at all
times.
