To read the texts click on the texts: Daniel 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.
