I'd like to look at this passage a little closer.
Matt 24;
45 “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?
46 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.
47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
48 But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long time,’
49 and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;
50 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,
51 and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
There is the "faithful and sensible" servant, who is blessed. But there is also the "evil" servant.
Both kinds of servants are in the Master's house. This could be a church. It could be "the" Church.
But this evil servant... "begins to beat his fellow slaves". Have you ever known any Christians like this. People in the church even.
People here on TalkJesus even. You try to be nice to them. You never insult them, but they be-ride you. They tease you. Some even
call you names, and say you're stupid, clueless, or moronic. Yes, I seen these exact words here on TalkJesus.
Have you ever felt "beaten" by a fellow servant in the Master's house? I know I have felt that way., I don't have the kind of personality
that it really gets me down or depressed, more often I get angry sometimes, but I try not to reply in anger.
But I do feel sorry for those people. I've seen passive-aggressive, manipulators, I've seem them all here.
Why do I feel sorry for them... because these are the ones it says will be thrown out and assigned a place with the hypocrites.
