Luke 12:48 (NKJV) 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more<\/span>.<\/p>\n

As Jesus spent time teaching His disciples, He shared many things about the futility of storing up earthly treasures while failing to store up heavenly treasures, stating that a fool \u201cis he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was during this time of teaching that He taught them that worrying is useless and accomplishes nothing.<\/p>\n

He also gave many examples of servants who were given certain responsibilities by their masters. Some servants were faithful with those responsibilities while others were slack and irresponsible.<\/p>\n

And during one part of this, Jesus spoke the words in the verse above.<\/p>\n

He wanted the disciples to understand the weight of the understanding they were being given.<\/p>\n

He taught them that those who had no understanding could not be expected to meet the standards of those who had received teaching and divine revelation.<\/p>\n

However, those who had received much (teaching and understanding) were given a greater responsibility. And were held to higher standards because of this.<\/p>\n

This applies to you and me as well.<\/p>\n

As children of God, we have received a miraculous, divine gift; the gift of salvation, having our sins washed away by the blood of Christ.<\/p>\n

We have been given divine understanding by the Spirit of God, and by His word.<\/p>\n

We have been given much!<\/p>\n

Therefore, because we have been given much, much is required of us.<\/p>\n

We are expected to meet higher standards than those who have not received this gift.<\/p>\n

God desires that we take this for what it is; something very precious (valuable), and very serious.<\/p>\n

And that we bear the responsibility of it carefully.<\/p>\n

How do we do this?<\/p>\n

We learn to live and walk by faith, led by the Holy Spirit in all things, that our words and our actions would bring glory and honor to God.<\/p>\n

And that when our days on earth end, we would hear Him say, \u201cwell done, good and faithful servant\u201d.<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n
