Are you tired? It seems that we all are and in fact, the statistics bear that out. The average person gets less that the recommended hours of sleep and many have trouble falling asleep. So Jesus’ words, “Stay awake” may not be the message we are eager to hear…
But Jesus is not talking about physical sleep but about spiritual watchfulness. Fine. But what does that look like? Jesus’ short parable about the household whose master has gone on a journey and a few verses in the book of Jude reveal that it is not all that hard. It is not an exhausting piling on of things to do that could make us even more tired.
