What Does Matthew 24:47 Mean?
Jesus promises the reward of the faithful servant: the master will set him over all his goods. Faithfulness in service is met with greater trust and larger responsibility.
The reward fits God's generous way: those proven faithful in their charge are given even more. The servant who cared well for the household is entrusted with everything. This is encouragement for every disciple's present labor -- nothing done faithfully for the Lord is overlooked, and the path of faithful service leads to fuller joy and greater entrustment in his kingdom.
