Notes

Matthew 24:45

servant: Those who were listening to Jesus might have thought of God's special servants, the prophets and lawgivers. But Jesus often used servant as a metaphor, so it is likely he was describing every disciple's responsibility (see Matthew 10:24–25; 13:27–28; 18:23–35; 20:26).

Matthew 24:45–51

This parable and the next three dramatize the importance of faithfully obeying while waiting for Jesus to return (Matthew 25:1–13, 14–30, 31–46).

Matthew 24:37–25:46

Jesus now applied his prophecies (Matthew 24:1–36) to his disciples so they would stay faithful and be ready for his second coming.
