(KJV) Luke 12:45

 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

By denying that Christ could return at any time to judge those who are careless toward Him, unfaithful people totally ignore Christ’s warning to be prepared for His return will be a disastrous time for those who have neglected their spiritual responsibilities, become rebellious toward God and abandoned their relationship with Him. It will end their opportunity to turn to God and receive forgiveness and eternal life. In other words, it can happen at any time, and it is final (Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:44; Mark 13:35; 2 Thessalonians 2:11).

(KJV) Luke 12:42-48

Jesus uses this parable (a brief word picture or story that teaches a spiritual lesson or makes a point) to teach the two possible ways Christ’s followers can live and manage their time, resources and responsibilities in light of Jesus’ absence and promised return. 

1. They can be faithful and obedient to God – spiritually ready and waiting for the Lord’s return at any time – which will allow them to receive the Master’s blessing (Luke 12:35; Mark 13:35; John 14:3).
2. They can grow careless and worldly minded, believing that the Lord will delay His coming. In this case, they will quit resisting sin and start straying from the path of faithfulness to God. As a result, they will experience God’s rejection and severe judgment when Christ returns (Luke 12:45-46; Matthew 24:44; John 5:24; 15:6).

(KJV) Luke 12:40

Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Those who serve God must always be spiritually ready and obedient (Luke 12:35) – following the instructions of His Word – because the Lord will come at an uncertain time. Other passages stressing this same truth are Matthew 24:36; Matthew 24:42; Matthew 24:43; Matthew 24:44; Luke 21:34; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:4.

(KJV) Luke 12:38

And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

 A special blessing is in store for those who are completely faithful to “wait” (Luke 12:36) and “watch” (Luke 12:37) for their Lord’s return during the time between His ascension (when He left the earth to return to heaven, Acts 1:9-11) and His second coming. At this time, the special blessing includes God’s presence and care through His Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5; Ephesians 1:13-14).

(KJV) Luke 12:35-40

Concerning the Lord’s return for His people, the New Testament church believed it was near and could happen at any time (Mark 13:35). This was the attitude Jesus desired because it kept His people prepared and living right. From the time Jesus left the earth to the present, He calls all of His followers to be spiritually ready at all times as they wait for His return. 

1. Jesus’ followers must be so attached to Him as their greatest love and treasure (Luke 12:34) that their deepest hope and longing is for His return (Luke 12:35-37).
2. They must be spiritually dressed (living with His character traits and serving His purposes) and ready as they wait for the uncertain time of Christ’s coming (Luke 12:38, 40). 
3. Christ could come at any time (Luke 12:38), so we must be waiting and looking for Christ Himself, not for a series of signs or end-time events that might begin it any time (Matthew 24:42, 44; John 14:3; 1 Corinthians 15:51).

(KJV) Luke 12:34

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

A person’s treasure is what he or she values and pursues most in life, proven by his or her priorities, passions and practices or actions. A person’s heart represents feelings, thoughts, desires, values, will and decisions – the core of who he or she really is. One’s heart is attracted to the things that are most important to him or her.

1. If you treasure earthly things, then your heart and affections will be motivated and captivated by such things. 
2. If your treasure is in God’s kingdom (His purposes on earth that will have effect for eternity) and you are motivated by His Word, His presence and your relationship to Him, then your heart will be drawn closer to Him. As a result, your life will be set on His eternal purposes as you prepare for the Lord’s return (Luke 12:35-40).

(KJV) Luke 12:15

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

To make earthly gain or riches a primary desire in life is a costly and fatal error that can lead to eternal loss (Luke 12:20-21). We must realize that in no way does our wealth determine our worth or significance. 

1. The Greek word for greed (pleonexia) literally conveys the thirst for having more. 
2. A selfish and wrongful desire for more does not refer to providing for one’s own needs and those of one’s family (Proverbs 6:6). While part of our lives must be spent working to provide for our needs, we must be careful to invest our time, efforts and resources in becoming “rich toward God” (Luke 12:21). This involves pursuing His kingdom and His righteousness (His purposes and standards) above everything else (Luke 12:31; Matthew 6:33).
3. Each of us should pay attention to Jesus’ warning and examine whether selfishness and greed exist in our own hearts.

(KJV) Luke 12:9

But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

To disown Christ is

1. To deny a relationship with Jesus by failing to acknowledge to others that we are His followers.
2. To refuse to take a stand for Christ’s message and defend the truth and principles of God’s Word in a society driven by non-Christian values. People can disown Christ by words or actions.

(KJV) Luke 12:5

 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

1. Jesus’ followers must remain in awe and total reverence of God’s majesty, holiness (purity, perfection, completeness of character and separation from evil) and His justified anger and judgment against sin (Isaiah 6:1-5). Such an attitude will help us understand and relate to God’s character, and it will keep us from standing in rebellion against Him and bringing disaster on ourselves.
2. Some Christians may want to believe that the “fear of God” simply means to have awe and respect for God. But that is not the case here. While it is true that Christians do not have to live in dreaded fear (particularly of God’s judgment on unforgiven sin, 1 John 4:16-18) and can be secure in God’s love, this passage warns us to walk holy and with the right perspective of “Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell.” Though this reference points to final judgment, recognizing that possibility should certainly keep us from walking in rebellion and missing out on the life God has for us. 
3. For Christians, living with a proper perspective of a holy God should bring comfort and cause us to rejoice in His love, care and power to guide, protect and provide for us. Notice how Jesus now goes on to describe how He will provide for us, telling us, “Don’t be afraid” (Luke 12:7).

(KJV) Luke 12:1

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Jesus condemns the hypocrisy (false-heartedness, pretense, double standards) of the Pharisees, warning His disciple to be careful that this sinful trait does not enter their own lives and ministry. 

1. Hypocrisy means acting as if you are what you are not. For example, it could involve acting outwardly as a godly and faithful Christian, when in reality (in your private life or with a different crowd) you are hiding sin, immorality, greed, lust or other ungodly attitudes and behaviors. Hypocrite is a deceiver when it comes to appearing “right.”
2. Since hypocrisy involves living a lie, it makes a person a partner or co-worker with Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44). 
3. Jesus warns His disciples that all hypocrisy and hidden sin will be exposed – if not in this life, then certainly on the day of judgment (Romans 2:16; 1 Corinthians 3:13; 4:5; Revelation 20:11-13). What is done secretly behind closed doors will be at some point openly revealed (Luke 12:2-3). This does not mean that confessed and forgiven sin will be brought against us. Rather, it means that what is hidden through hypocrisy will certainly be revealed (Luke 12:2-3).
4. A lifestyle of hypocrisy is a sign that a person does not fear God with a holy reverence and respect for His character, power and judgment (Luke 12:5). It also means that a person is resisting or does not have God’s Holy Spirit within them, transforming their lives to be like Christ (Romans 8:5-14; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:5). While remaining in this condition, a person cannot “escape being condemned to hell” (Matthew 23:33).
