Daniel 7: 18 But the saints of the Most-High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even for ever and ever.
The cross of Christ opens up the gates of eternity, with all of its riches to those who are found faithful, and from studying the Scriptures, it becomes clear that the saints will finally be granted permanent ownership of things God will give to us. Thus, the charge that The Master is “a hard man” is categorically false, and it shows that the steward does not really believe in God’s promise of a new earth. His focus is centered squarely in the here and now alone.
[Christ’s Object Lessons] There are many who in their hearts charge God with being a hard master because He claims their possessions and their service. But we can bring to God nothing that is not already His. All things are God's, not only by creation, but by redemption. All the blessings of this life and of the life to come are delivered to us stamped with the cross of Calvary. Therefore, the charge that God is a hard master, reaping where He has not sown, is false.
Just for the record, there are some truths which we will need to certify from the Scriptures as it pertains to stewardship, because the talents given by God to the stewards were for practice purposes, to prepare them for the future kingdom, in which He will give us a permanent inheritance, and where the faithful are scheduled to finally become owners.
Matthew 7: 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
