The Faithful And The Unfaithful Servant
We don’t know when the Lord Jesus will come. No man, not even the angels in heaven, know the hour when the Son of man come, only the Father (Matthew24:36).
Jesus warns us in parables, so that we have no excuse on the day of judgment, to be watchful for the end. To not become slothful, thinking that Jesus won’t come for a long time. It is when we don’t expect Him to come, that He will. There are a lot of signs Jesus gives us that will let us know the end is near. Are we a faithful servant, awaiting His arrival or are we unfaithful to Him? Are we abiding in Him or being as a harlot with the world which He says will pass away?
There are good, faithful servants of His. They are watchful unto Him. They keep their focus and eyes on Him always. They are ready, in whatever hour He comes, using their talents He has given wisely. Doing as He commands in the life He has given him. The reward of this servant is great; He will make him ruler over all His goods, blessed is He. This is an Eternal Being, Jesus, saying that this man is blessed, this is Eternal Blessing.
There are also evil servants of His. They think in their heart, the Lord is not coming soon, He will delay His coming. They smote their fellow servants, ate and drank with the drunken. They are not sober, watching for the Lord, waiting upon Him, they count their servant hood to Him a common and unholy thing. The Lord will come in a day that he is not aware. And the Lord shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
He is counted the same as the hypocrites! Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites, and He woes them much in the Scriptures. That woe is an eternal woe just like the blessings of the Eternal Being are everlasting, so are the woes.
Notice that the evil servant fares sumptuously everyday just like in Luke 16:19. And this man spent eternity in hell. Just like this evil servant. They have the same fate. This evil servant was drinking with the drunkards and thought nothing of it. Mingling in with the world, very light hearted, having no sobriety, just loving the world, thinking he can have both the Lord and these things. He was greatly deceived and paid an eternal penalty.
One other thing to notice, that the evil servant IS a servant of the Lord. This evil servant, just like the faithful servant has the Lord that is capable of casting him into hell. It does not call this servant the servant of the devil, or an unsaved person. This servant is just the evil servant who does evil, then expects when the Lord comes He will not reward him according to his deeds done in the body. But He will. He is a just God. This is why Jesus warns so often to fear God, to abide in Him, giving us parables and straight up commands. This is for our own good, for our eternal good. Because some will be cast out who did not do His will. Who thought they knew Him but in actuality, according to the Lord, did not. This is fearful.
