And he said, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, evil servant. Because you had known that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow;’
Luke 19:22
This servant’s knowledge only made him that much more culpable. It revealed the effort he went to in order to justify himself in doing nothing. The master does not here deny what the servant had said. This indicates that this servant did have an accurate picture of his master. And yet, he still failed miserably in his service.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your great love and care! You know our needs and our weakness. You understand our thoughts, but Yours are so much higher and more wonderful than ours. Thank You for Your truth! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
