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.(Luke 12:47-48 ESV)
When we think about our accountability to Christ as His followers, we like to focus on the "well done" type of passages. What we do not like to think about is the great responsibility we have to act upon all He has revealed to us about His will. We need to focus not on what others deserve for what they have done, but what we ought to be doing.
