Answered in 1 source
The Bible describes a faithful and wise servant as one who serves the Lord with dedication and prepares for His return, as illustrated in Matthew 24:45-51.
In Matthew 24:45-51, Jesus poses the crucial question: 'Who then is a faithful and wise servant?' This servant is characterized by their dedication and readiness for the coming of the Lord. The faithful servant is not only a bondservant to Jesus but also someone who understands the importance of preemptive preparation for the Lord's return. The Scriptures emphasize that every believer, as part of the household of God, plays a role as a servant, thus making serving the Lord a high calling and essential duty. This theme reflects a central aspect of God’s kingdom, where all believers are engaged in ministry and service, illustrating the significance of being spiritually watchful and committed.
