‘Last Generation’
Luke 16:22-23 So it was that the beggar died, and was
carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was
buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
The final reward
for Lazarus, the faithful servant of God is the bosom of Abraham, which is
equivalent to the reward of crown for kings. For the merciless rich man it will
be the fire of Hades. Our Lord taught us in great details of the signs of His
coming up to rapture in Mat 24, and then how He will judge us according to our
faithfulness by our works. Please read Mat 24:45-25:46 concerning His
judgments.
Faithful servant feeds the sheep
Mat 24:45-47 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season Blessed
is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly,
I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.”
God’s faithful
servant cares and feeds His servants and sheep with physical food and truth from
the word of God.
Faithful servant makes disciples
Mat 25.20-23 “So he who had received five talents came
and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five
talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ “His lord said to
him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few
things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your
lord.’ “He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you
delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides
them.’ “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have
been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter
into the joy of your lord.’ “
God’s faithful
servant will always make disciples. By keeping His words, he will be able to
love his brethren and even lay down his life for them. He will be able to teach
them the truth and guide them to keep His words, so that just like him, the
Lord will baptize them with the Holy Spirit or Sprit of truth.
John 14:15-16, 26 “If
you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give
you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — ... But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all
things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
Faithful servant filled with love
Mat 25:37-40 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When
did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did
we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ “And the King will answer and
say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the
least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ “
God’s faithful
servant is filled with love, mercy and compassion: Feed the hungry, give water
to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick, and visit those in prison.
Luke 16:14-15 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of
money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them,
“You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts.
For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.”
Depraved Christian
leaders who love money will justify their greed with the Prosperity Gospel thus
corrupting the sheep.
