(1) Let a man so consider us, as servants
of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of
God.
(2) Moreover it is required in stewards
that one be found faithful.
(3) But with me it is a very small thing
that I should be judged by you or by a
human court. In fact, I do not even judge
myself.
1 Corinthians 4:1-3 (NKJV)

(7) The end of all things is near.
Therefore be alert and of sober mind
so that you may pray.
(8) Above all, love each other deeply,
because love covers over a multitude
of sins.
(9) Offer hospitality to one another
without grumbling.
1 Peter 4:7-11 (NIV)

(10) Each of you should use whatever
gift you have received to serve others,
as faithful stewards of God’s grace in
its various forms.
(11) If anyone speaks, they should do
so as one who speaks the very words
of God. If anyone serves, they should
do so with the strength God provides,…

(11) …so that in all things God may be
praised through Jesus Christ. To him be
the glory and the power for ever and ever.
Amen.

(41) Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling
this parable to us, or to everyone?”
Luke 12:35-40 (NKJV)
The Faithful Servant
&
The Evil Servant

(35) Let your waist be girded and your
lamps burning;
(36) and you yourselves be like men who
wait for their master, when he will return
from the wedding, that when he comes and
knocks they may open to him immediately.

(37) Blessed are those servants whom the
master, when he comes, will ﬁnd watching.
Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird
himself and have them sit down to eat,
and will come and serve them.
(38) And if he should come in the second
watch, or come in the third watch, and…

(38)…ﬁnd them so, blessed are those
servants.
(39) But know this, that if the master
of the house had known what hour the
thief would come, he would have
watched and not allowed his house
to be broken into…

(40) Therefore you also be ready, for
the Son of Man is coming at an hour
you do not expect.

(40) Therefore you also be ready, for
the Son of Man is coming at an hour
you do not expect.
(41) Peter asked, “Lord,
are you telling this parable
to us, or to everyone?”

(42) And the Lord said, “Who then is that
faithful and wise steward, whom his
master will make ruler over his
household, to give them their portion of
food in due season?
(43) Blessed is that servant whom his
master will ﬁnd so doing when he comes.
(44) Truly, I say to you that he will make
him ruler over all that he has.

(45) But if that servant says in his heart,
‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and
begins to beat the male and female
servants, and to eat and drink and be
drunk,
(46) the master of that servant will come
on a day when he is not looking for him,
and at an hour when he is not aware,…

(46)…and will cut him in two and
appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers.
(47) And that servant who knew his
master’s will, and did not prepare
himself or do according to his will,
shall be beaten with many stripes.

(48) But he who did not know, yet
committed things deserving of stripes,
shall be beaten with few. For everyone
to whom much is given, from him
much will be required; and to whom
much has been committed, of him
they will ask the more.

“every Christian has
some gift to exercise
in whatever degree,
and of whatever kind.”
Wheaton, D. H. (1994) In D. A. Carson, R. T.
France, J. A. Motyer, & G. J. Wenham (Eds.),
New Bible commentary: 21st century edition
(4th ed., p. 1382)

“each Christian being but
a STEWARD for the
edifying of the whole NOT
receiving the gift merely
for his own use.”
Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D.
(1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory
on the Whole Bible (Vol. 2, p. 511)

“Stewards are not the
depositories of grace, but
dispensers of it, so far as
God gives us it, to others.”
Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D.
(1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory
on the Whole Bible (Vol. 2, p. 269)

Depositary - a person
to whom something
is lodged in trust;
Dispenser - a person
(thing) that dispenses
(distributes or provides)
something (a service/
information) to a
number of people.

It refers to the activity
of the crucial servant in
a household whose task
it was to transfer the
resources of the owner
to the members of his
household according
to their needs.
“STEWARD” in 1 Cor. 4

SERVICE
His
“STEWARDS were
created to “image”
God and to represent
His interests. To be a living
image, stewards must mirror
God’s love, character and
purpose. God’s stewards are to
demonstrate what He is like.”
Dr. Erika Puni
