Call to Faithful Stewardship“Get dressed for service and keep your lamps burning;
be like people waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.
Blessed are those slaves whom their master finds alert when he returns! I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, have them take their place at the table, and will come and wait on them!
Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, blessed are those slaves!
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
