Two servants. One Master. Two very different ways of waiting.
Jesus told of a faithful servant who continued doing his master’s will while he was away—and another who said in his heart, “My master is delaying his coming,” and began mistreating his fellow servants.
The warning in Matthew 24:45–51 is especially important for those waiting for Christ’s return. Waiting for Jesus isn’t simply about knowing that He is coming. It’s about how we live while we wait.
We can profess to be ready for His return while our actions tell a different story. How we treat others, how faithfully we serve, and what we do when we think no one is watching reveal what is truly in our hearts.
Christ’s apparent delay is not permission to become careless. It is an opportunity to remain faithful.
May He find us loving, serving, watching, and faithfully doing the work He entrusted to us when He returns.
“Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.” — Matthew 24:46
