Commentary
Commentary on Matthew 24:45
Theological / DevotionalWise servant. This is the second of six illustrations given to show the importance of watching and being ready.
Ruler over his household. This parable applies especially to the religious and spiritual leaders of the “household of faith” (Gal. 6:10; cf. Eph. 2:19), whose duty it is to provide for the needs of its members, and who by precept and example are to witness to their belief in the nearness of Christ’s coming.
Meat in due season. Or, “food at the proper time” (RSV). It is the shepherd’s duty to “feed the flock of God” (1 Peter 5:2) and to set it an example (v. 3) of watchfulness and preparedness. God will require an accounting of His flock, and it behooves each shepherd to discharge faithfully the responsibility entrusted to him (see Eze. 34:2-10).
