Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Church and final judge of all men, points out attention to specific issues of eternal consequence in this parable.
One, that servants of Christ shall definitely give account of their stewardship
(2 Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10; Luke 16:2).
Two, that faithfulness is required in the service of the Lord. While faithfulness will be rewarded, unfaithfulness will be judged (Matthew 25:21,22,24-28).
Three, He exhorts against dishonesty and unfaithfulness in stewardship and reemphasises God's standard on marital relationship.
Four, He admonishes believers on the need to be wise in making diligent preparation for their eternal estate. Thus, the study highlights the importance of Christian prudence in our earthly pilgrimage.
The certainty of the day of reckoning calls for sober reflection and a need to make necessary preparations to invest in eternally profitable and rewarding
ministry.
