Jesus taught
on watchfulness using parables, “Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this
parable to us, or to everyone” (Luke 12:41 NIV)? I can understand Peter’s
dilemma. Many of us mentally skip over portions of Scripture for a variety of
reasons, i.e. it doesn’t feel applicable, we don’t want to obey it, or we think
we’ve already mastered the teaching. However, we need to be reminded that even a
confusing parable is meant for all of us. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good
work” (2 Tim 3:16-17 NIV).
