Bible Lesson: Cherished
Promises To The Child Of God: To Watchful Believers.
Bible Text:
Luke 12:36-40 KJV
36
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they
may open unto him immediately.
37
Blessed are those servants, whom The lord when He cometh shall find
watching: verily I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself, and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38
And if He shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch,
and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39
And this know, that if the good man of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered
his house to be broken through.
40
Be ye therefore ready also: for The Son Of Man cometh at an hour when
ye think not.
The Lord's Request:
Blessed
are those servants, whom The lord when He cometh shall find watching:
The Lord's Promise:
verily
I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down
to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Watchfulness:

I

returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.
38 In those days before
the flood, the people were enjoying banquets and parties and weddings
right up to the time Noah entered his boat.

realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them
all away. That is the way it will be when The Son Of Man comes.

what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find
that your actions do not meet the requirements of My God.

heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to Me
again. If you don’t wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as
unexpected as a thief.
When
the Roll Is Called Up Yonder
When the
trumpet of The Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the
morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the
saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the
roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain:
When the
roll is called up yonder,
When the
roll is called up yonder,
When the
roll is called up yonder,
When the
roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
On that
bright and *cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the
glory of His resurrection share;
When His
chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the
roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Let us
labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us
talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then
when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the
roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
