Matthew 24:47 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:47

Verily I say unto you
Nothing is a greater truth, more certain, or to be depended on, than this; all such wise, faithful, diligent, and industrious servants may expect it: that he, shall make him ruler over all his goods;
will honour him with greater gifts, bestow a larger degree of Gospel light and knowledge on him, make him more useful in the church below, and at last cause him to inherit all things in the other world, all glory, happiness, and bliss.

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.
