But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
Isn't this a warning, a vivid warning to those of us who have had the privelige of access to the Word of God on a daily basis? If my regular position is that I can pick and choose which portions of the Scriptures I am willing to obey vs. those that I choose to disregard or modify? I am a fool and deserve to hear my LORD announce it to all creation before that Great Throne.
