Mat 24:45 | MHM | STEP | v. 45 : Jesus asks, “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?” Here, Jesus introduces a parable to show the difference between faithful and unfaithful servants. This applies to all Christians, but especially to ministers, who are stewards in God’s household. The church is God’s family, and ministers are appointed not as rulers or lords, but as stewards and guides, leading people in the ways Christ has set. Their job is to give spiritual food—sound teaching and encouragement—at the right time, not to take for themselves or invent new doctrines. They must serve under Christ’s authority, for the good of His people.
