Ephesians 2:12-22; Psalm 85; Luke 12:35-38

Embracing the Unknown

Today’s Gospel stresses the fact that we are not in charge of things – that we are servants rather than the master and that we have tasks to perform. There is an element of uncertainty in being a follower of Jesus: our future is not neatly laid out in front of us; we may be asked the unexpected at a time we do not expect. We are “dressed and ready for action” to the extent that we keep our eyes and desires focussed on God, ready to respond to what is asked of us in faith.
