Luke 12:43

43 That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.

Luke 12:43 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:43

Blessed is that servant
Who is faithful and wise, rules well, and discharges his trust with integrity, and disposes of the provisions of the house, in his hands, with great discretion and prudence:

whom his Lord, when he cometh;
to take vengeance on the wicked Jews, or by death, or at judgment:

shall find so doing;
behaving as a good ruler, and as a wise and faithful steward.

Luke 12:43 In-Context

41 Peter asked, "Lord, did you use this illustration just for us or for everyone?"
42 The Lord asked, "Who, then, is the faithful, skilled manager that the master will put in charge of giving the other servants their share of food at the right time?
43 That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.
44 I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.
45 On the other hand, that servant may think that his master is taking a long time to come home. The servant may begin to beat the other servants and to eat, drink, and get drunk.
