THE WISE AND FAITHFUL SERVANT
Keywords 24:45
"Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom
the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them
their food at the proper time?
1. Jesus told his disciples to discern the times. When
they saw all the things he talked about, they would know that his coming was
near. Jesus gave these disciples his words, and his words are eternal. Earth
and even heaven will pass away, but the words of Jesus last forever.
2. When every day goes by like the one before, it is
easy to become complacent. Noah built an ark in obedience to God’s command, while the rest of humanity ignored him. In
the same way Jesus taught his disciples to keep watch. He taught them to live
like Noah, to watch for his coming when everyone else went about their lives as
usual. The Son of Man will come; therefore, we keep watch. No one knows the
exact hour when the Son of Man will come, but the wise servant lives with the
expectation of his master’s coming at all
times. Jesus wants us to be wise and faithful servants. He teaches us to serve
him as we serve God’s people in our
times. The Son of Man comes to judge and to save. He calls us to be ready and
to serve him faithfully.
Prayer Lord, help
me to hold on to the words of Jesus and be a wise and faithful servant in my
generation.
