Who Then Is A Faithful Servant? (5 of 13)
Series: THE GLORIOUS APPEARING

Matthew 24:45
This is an exciting series "The Glorious Appearing". Last week we talked about "Who Then Is A Faithful Servant?". And today we are going to continue with part II of this lesson before we go on to Revelation 19 where the Bible actually describes what it will be like when Christ comes in the air, when Christ comes in the glory of His Father with all the holy angels, with the hosts of heaven and defeats Satan at the Battle of Armageddon, when Christ comes and sets up His glorious kingdom on this earth. There will be no more war, no more sin, and no more sickness and no more sorrow, when He will wipe away all tears from the eyes of mankind. And for a thousand years on earth the world will see how perfect this world can be when Christ is in charge, when men allow Christ to take control. So we really have the most exciting part of this series just ahead of us.

Only God the Father knows. So, what are we to be doing? We are to be wise and faithful servants of the Lord.

This is a figure of speech. Jesus is not endorsing slavery; He is just using the custom of that time to illustrate a point. During those days, two-thirds of the world was servants, slaves. And they were confined to work for wealthy owners. So the disciples could relate to what He was talking about. A wealthy owner would ha ...
