INTRODUCTION: The primary aim of a steward is to be found faithful by his master. Every good steward
serves the purpose of their master. By implication, for a steward to do his master’s will, he needs to know the
purpose of his/her master. Based on the infallibility of the truths above, let us find out what the master requires
of the servant.
(a) State the specific task handed to the servant (v45b). in which way(s) does this relate to you as a faithful steward of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
(b)What are the two (2) kinds of servants described in the passage (v45 and 48)? Briefly describe how each one of them went about their duties.
(c) What are we told in v50 about the time of the master’s return? How did this influence the behaviour of the servants?
What did the master expect of the steward on his return (v45-46)?
(d)How would it affect your schedule if you knew Jesus Christ was returning this week? What will it show about your readiness for the return of Jesus Christ? (v47 and v51)
(e) What will be your reward? (v47 or v51)
(f) What are the consequences of being an unfaithful steward?
