The Parable of The Faithful Servant
Overview
In this Bible lesson, we learn about how Jesus is coming back one day and wants us to be ready for him. It’s easy to doubt because Jesus is taking so long to return, but Jesus knew this could happen. He told a story about a master who went on a long journey and left his servants behind to take care of his land and valuables. After he was gone for some time, one servant gave up on his master’s return and decided to take advantage of his absence. Eventually, the master did return. He threw the wicked servant out of the house. Our job is to serve God and tell other people about him while we wait for Jesus to return.
luke 12:40
You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
