We have all known employees who tend to slack off when the boss is not watching. They survive by only doing the bare minimum, but seem to be able to impress the supervisor. Our job is made more difficult by this type of worker and the company suffers.
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the story of three employees. Two are faithful in their work although their responsibilities differ. One does nothing of profit to the employer. The faithful Two are rewarded and the unfaithful worker is punished. Matthew 25:11 recounts part of the story; “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'”
No service before the Lord is too small. Our faithfulness to God is tested in all of our service before Him and we will be rewarded based upon our faithfulness. I long to hear Jesus say to me, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
