On Holy Tuesday, Jesus taught in the Temple courts. He taught his disciples about faithfulness.

But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, 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 hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 24:36-51

Who are you? Jesus was teaching about faithfulness on Holy Tuesday. He was expressing how our faithfulness is exhibited throughout our daily lives. How we live our lives matter. Are we living like Jesus is coming back? Stay awake! Be alert! I’m calling your faithfulness on the carpet today. Examine your life. I’ve heard the statement, “If I’m not faithful God is faithful.”  Well, our faithfulness does matter. Do not be a wicked servant; which means you lack faithfulness. The unfaithful and hypocrites share a place in darkness. Blessed are the faithful.
