The Story of My Life as told by Jesus Christ

Page 200      Luke 12: 33-48

Jesus’ instructions about saying alert and being ready are very similar to the instructions Moses gave the people of God. In the original exodus, Moses instructed the people to be fully dressed, packed, and ready to travel, as they prepared their first Passover meal. (Exodus 12:11) Jesus is teaching his followers to be prepared for the events in Jerusalem that will surround his exodus. Jesus isn’t teaching the disciples about the end of time or the second coming of the Messiah. He is instructing his followers how to live in the here and now.



Why should we be so disciplined to maintain such a state of alert and readiness? First, Jesus is teaching us that this is the fruit of an abiding relationship with our loving, caring, life-giving Heavenly Father. Secondly, continued awareness of this relationship is the heart of living the life of Christ. If your ambition is to make the life in Christ your way of life, living out of the truth of your core identity as the beloved children of God is your primary focus, 24/7.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
