Matthew 24:50

50 the Master is going to show up when he least expects it

Matthew 24:50 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant
Not by redemption and grace, but by creation and profession; shall come in a day when he looked not for him, and in an hour
that he is not aware of:
suddenly and unexpectedly: such was his coming in wrath and vengeance on the Jewish nation; and such is his coming oftentimes by death; and such will be his coming at the day of judgment.

Matthew 24:50 In-Context

48 "But if that person only looks out for himself, and the minute the Master is away does what he pleases -
49 abusing the help and throwing drunken parties for his friends -
50 the Master is going to show up when he least expects it
51 and make hash of him. He'll end up in the dump with the hypocrites, out in the cold shivering, teeth chattering.
