To whom much is given, much is required

My title sounds like a line from the movie Spiderman (Great power comes with great responsibility), but it actually is a line from the Bible. I was so inspired with Father Boyd's sermon, that I included Today's Gospel in this blog.

We should not live in fear to show our love for Christ. I asked myself today, have I asked Jesus to come into my life, to live in me, to stay with me? Jesus is always with us, the question is, have I asked Him to stay? "Parang manliligaw na buntot ng buntot pero di naman pinapansin" as Father Boyd put it. Nakakatwa isipin, pero totoo. Ikaw, tinanong mo na ba sa sarili mo 'yan? "The Son of man will come at an unexpected hour", ikaw, handa ka na ba kapag dumating na ang oras na 'yon? It is never too late to accept Him in our lives. Gawin na natin ngayon, hangga't may oras pa. Habang kaya pa natin. Napaghahandaan nga natin ang mga exams, parties, wedding, gimik, di ba? Let us accept Christ in our lives, let receive God's grace, and live without fear because He is with us. (",)

Here's today's Gospel, from the Book of Luke, Chapter 12, verses 32 to 48:

32	"Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33	Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
34	For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35	"Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning,
36	and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the marriage feast, so that they may open to him at once when he comes and knocks.
37	Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes; truly, I say to you, he will gird himself and have them sit at table, and he will come and serve them.
38	If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants!
39	But know this, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into.
40	You also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an unexpected hour."
41	Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?"
42	And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
43	Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing.
44	Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
45	But if that servant says to himself, `My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46	the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will punish him, and put him with the unfaithful.
47	And that servant who knew his master's will, but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating.
48	But he who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, shall receive a light beating. Every one to whom much is given, of him will much be required; and of him to whom men commit much they will demand the more.
