Truly I tell you
This phrase is a solemn affirmation used by Jesus to emphasize the truth and importance of what He is about to say. The Greek word "ἀμὴν" (amēn) is often translated as "truly" or "verily," and it underscores the certainty and authority of Jesus' words. In the context of Matthew 24, Jesus is speaking about the end times and the faithfulness required of His followers. This introduction serves to capture the attention of the listener, ensuring that the following promise is received with the gravity it deserves.

he will put him in charge
The phrase indicates a delegation of authority and responsibility. The Greek word "καταστήσει" (katastēsei) means to appoint or set in place. In the historical context of a master-servant relationship, this would imply a significant trust and honor bestowed upon the servant. Spiritually, it reflects the reward for faithfulness and diligence in serving God. The faithful servant is not only recognized but is also entrusted with greater responsibilities, symbolizing the believer's future role in God's kingdom.

of all his possessions
This phrase speaks to the extent of the trust and reward given to the faithful servant. The Greek word "ὑπάρχοντα" (hyparchonta) refers to possessions or property. In the biblical context, this can be seen as a metaphor for the spiritual riches and responsibilities in the kingdom of heaven. Historically, a servant being put in charge of all possessions would be akin to being made a steward or manager, a position of great honor and trust. For the believer, it signifies the ultimate reward of sharing in Christ's glory and authority in the eternal kingdom, a promise of profound spiritual inheritance and responsibility.

(47) He shall make him ruler.--The words are noteworthy as among the indications that the work of the faithful servant does not cease, either after his own removal from his earthly labour, or even after the final consummation of the kingdom. Over and above the joy of the beatific vision, or what is figured to us as the peace of Paradise, there will still be a work to be done, analogous to that which has been the man's training here, and in it there will be scope for all the faculties and energies that have been thus disciplined and developed. (Comp. Notes on Matthew 25:21; Luke 19:17.)

Verse 47. - He shall make him ruler over (καταστήσει ἐπὶ, with dative, denoting permanency of occupation; in ver. 45 it is with genitive, as of temporary superintendence) all his goods; all that he hath. This is the reward. He who before was set over only a small part of his lord's possessions is now made superintendent of all his property; for "he that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much" (Luke 16:10). How we are to take this promise as applied to the rewards of the kingdom of heaven, we know not yet. "Eve hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive, what God hath prepared for them that love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). There are similar mysterious statements elsewhere; e.g. Matthew 19:28; Romans 8:32; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 3:21. This may be one of those passages in which we are not meant to press or understand all the details of the parable.
