46 It will be good for the servant if the master finds him doing his job when the master returns.

Matthew 24:46 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:46

Blessed is that servant whom his Lord, when he cometh
Whether in a way of judgment, as against Jerusalem; or at death, when he comes to remove him out of time, into eternity; or at the day of judgment, when he, the righteous judge, will give the crown of righteousness to him: shall find so doing;
acting the faithful and wise part, ruling the household of God well; giving to all wholesome food, a proper portion of it, and that in the right time.

Matthew 24:46 In-Context

44 So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour when you don't expect him.
45 "Suppose a master puts one of his servants in charge of the other servants in his house. The servant's job is to give them their food at the right time. The master wants a faithful and wise servant for this.
46 It will be good for the servant if the master finds him doing his job when the master returns.
47 What I'm about to tell you is true. The master will put that servant in charge of everything he owns.
48 "But suppose that servant is evil. Suppose he says to himself, 'My master is staying away a long time.'
