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.

45 "Who then is the faithful and wise slave whom the master has put in charge of his household slaves to give them their food at the right time?

46 Blessed [is] that slave whom his master will find so doing [when he] comes back.

47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

48 But if that evil slave should say {to himself}, 'My master is staying away for a long time,'
