Rachel Workman: 47 “And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished. 48 But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.
The more you allow Jesus to live through you
the less you will be allow yourself to not carry out God's instructions. Jesus
has a way of rooting those sins out of us. I'm far from being sin free. But I
have made great strides in that area.

John Burnett: 47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does
not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many
blows.48 But the one who does not know and does things
deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has
been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted
with much, much more will be asked. Jesus was beaten much for the times I did not do
what the Master wants. God has given me much and I know I have not met
what He demands of me. Thankfully, by His Amazing Grace, He took the
punishment I deserve and was beaten with many blows in my stead.

Monday’s reading for Luke 12:49-52
49 “I have come to set the world on fire,
and I wish it were already burning! 50 I have a terrible
baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is
accomplished. 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the
earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 52 From
now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or
two in favor and three against.
