What Does Matthew 24:46 Mean?
Jesus pronounces a blessing: happy is that servant whom the master, when he comes, finds doing his work. The reward belongs to faithfulness that continues right up to the master's return.
Here is the heart of glad readiness. The blessed servant is not the one who guessed the hour but the one found faithfully at his post. There is deep comfort in this: the disciple need not fear the timing if he is found doing his Lord's will. To be caught in the act of faithful service is the happiest way to meet the returning Master.
