Matthew 24:50 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant
Not by redemption and grace, but by creation and profession; shall come in a day when he looked not for him, and in an hour
that he is not aware of:
suddenly and unexpectedly: such was his coming in wrath and vengeance on the Jewish nation; and such is his coming oftentimes by death; and such will be his coming at the day of judgment.

Matthew 24:50 In-Context

48 "But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time,'

49 and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;

50 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,

51 and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
