Grow With Me

Luke 12:35–40

Belts fastened and lamps lit, like servants waiting for their master

35Let your waists be girded and your lamps burning,

36and you be like people waiting for their master, to see when he will return from the wedding feast, so that when he comes and knocks they may at once open to him.

37Happy are those slaves whom the master will find awake when he comes. Truly I tell you that he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them.

38And if in the second watch or if in the third watch he comes and finds them so, happy are those slaves.

39But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40You also be ready, because at an hour you do not expect the Son of Man is coming.”

In its context

33Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves money bags that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.

34For where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.

41And Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”

42And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master will put in charge over his household staff to give them their food allowance at the proper time?
