Good Servant

Good Stewards

The New Bible Dictionary, Third Edition Steward

More profoundly, it is used of the Christian’s responsibility, delegated to him under ‘Christ’s kingly government of his own house’. All things are Christ’s, and Christians are his executors or stewards. Christians are admitted to the responsibilities of Christ’s overruling of his world; so that stewardship can be referred to similarly as a dispensation

English Standard Version Introduction

The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus as Israel’s

Messiah. The account alternates between Jesus’ activities of healing and casting out demons, and major blocks of his teaching, including the Sermon on the Mount (chs. 5–7), the Parables of the Kingdom (ch. 13), and the Olivet Discourse (chs. 24–25). The Sermon on the Mount includes the Beatitudes (5:3–12) and the Lord’s Prayer (6:5–15). The book closes with the Great Commission (28:18–20). A recurring theme is the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders, culminating in his pronouncement of “seven woes” upon them (ch. 23). As do all four Gospel accounts, Matthew focuses on Christ’s three-year ministry and his death and resurrection.

Matthew 24:45–51

45. ““Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?

46. Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

47. Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.

48. But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’

49. and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards,

50. the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know

51. and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

It is not only the pastors to carry out this job of stewardship but ours also

i know the bible tells peter to feed my sheep in John 21:15-17

But that is so you can grow and carry out your assignment

the work is not all about the pastor but it’s about all of us call him Lord

Colossians 3:23–24 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ

This is an instruction for all

I see superintendent and Mother running all over this state and country working on behalf of God no matter how many trials they have had they keep on pushing

How often have many of us wanted to quick

David said my foot almost slipped

Psalm 73:1–3 “Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.”

1 Corinthians 4:1–2 “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”
