Luke 12:44

44 I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.

Luke 12:44 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:44

Of a truth I say unto you
This, with Christ, was a strong way of asserting the truth of any thing; and the sense is, you may assure yourselves of it, this will certainly be the happy case of such servant:

that he will make him ruler over all that he hath;
as Joseph was made by Pharaoh. Such an one shall reign with Christ on earth a thousand years, and then in heaven with him to all eternity, where he shall enjoy all things; (See Gill on Matthew 24:47)

Luke 12:44 In-Context

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.
46 His master will return at an unexpected time. Then his master will punish him severely and assign him a place with unfaithful people.
