BAD SERVANTS

a. The problem lies in the wicked human heart.
b. He thinks that his master is going to be delayed.
c. He begins to bully his fellow-servants.
d. He also begins to eat and drink.
e. He becomes a drunkard (Luke 12:45).
4. The Master returns unexpectedly.
a. He will cut him in two (Metaphorically).
b. He will be treated as an unbeliever (Luke 12:46).
5. The Second Bad servant who failed to live up to his Master’s will.
a. He did not prepare himself according to that will.
b. He will be chastised (beaten with many stripes) {Luke 12:47}.
6. The Third Bad servant who was ignorant of his Master’s will.
a. He may not have been well-instructed about the Master’s will.
b. He commits many errors deserving of punishment.
c. But he will be chastised less severely (beaten with less stripes) {Luke 12:48}.
7. An important principle to bear in mind.
“For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.”
Luke 12:48b
a. To all who has been entrusted with much.
b. The expectations will be higher.
c. The greater the commitment given, much more is expected of that servant!
