Summary
Jesus teaches disciples to live as faithful servants awaiting his return by adopting a master-servant perspective that transforms priorities, protects from sin, enables perseverance, and generates authentic praise. The impending return of Christ should reshape daily attitudes and actions, not merely future expectations.
Highlights
The impending return of Christ should impact our attitude and our actions here now while we wait for his return, not just once he returns.
The more and more you get to know God, I promise you, the more and more you will adore him.
If that vision is less than the return of Christ, if it is less than experiencing the unending joy, purpose, and worship of life as it was always meant to be with him, then that is a small, small vision compared to Christ.
