Much Given. Much Expected Pt 1

From everyone who has much, much will be required; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be expected. (Luke 12.48 CSB)

Much Given, Much Expected.

Jesus doesn’t mince words. From the parable and then this closing line, he is making something really clear. There are two ways that we can respond to all that God has given us, entrusted to us, blessed us with. We can work to use what we have been given for the sake of God’s purposes, or we can sit back, coast, and use all that has been given to us for ourselves. Jesus implicitly is asking the disciples and all of us a very basic question. What will you do with what you have been given?
