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.)
