Luke 12:47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Jesus warns us about trying to pull the wool over His eyes in many places, and this is one of the places where punishment is described for those who do not follow!
If we call ourselves Christians or followers of Christ and do not do things according to God’s will, then we deserve to be beaten.
Can you imagine what the world would be like if there was such a harsh punishment dealt out for so many things in our lives?
I think many things would get sorted out a whole lot better!
