Luke 12:44

King James Bible

"Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath."

Commentary

Jesus employs a solemn formula to emphasize the certainty of what follows. This phrase signals that the teaching is not hypothetical but a divine principle about how God's kingdom operates. The master elevates the faithful servant to a position of comprehensive authority. This promotion from servant to ruler illustrates the biblical principle that faithfulness in small matters leads to greater responsibility. The scope of the reward is total—encompassing everything the master owns. This complete entrustment reflects how God rewards faithful stewardship with expanded influence in His kingdom, both now and in the age to come.
