Summary of Readings

·                     The Nobleman told his servants to “Occupy (be usefully engaged) till I come”

·                     After His crucifixion Jesus returned to heaven and left us instructions to follow to occupy our lives until His return

·                     Moses left the Israelites for a period of time to receive instructions from God, but in his absence they did not “occupy” as God had instructed

·                     Are we occupying correctly while waiting for Jesus Christ to return, or are we distracted like the Israelites of old?

·                     Jesus explained in the parable that God has given each of us a “commission” - each has individual tasks assigned - which we should follow, and not fall short!

·                     We are exhorted to “occupy” by following the instructions in both the Old and New Testaments, that we may be preserved wholly in spirit and soul and body and be made immortal, without going through physical death, at our Saviour’s return.
