Albert Barnes Commentary Matthew 24:47

"Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath." — Matthew 24:47 (ASV)

Shall make him ruler, etc. Shall confirm his appointment over his household, and, as a reward, shall place him over all his property. This does not mean that ministers shall have a higher rank or office, but is a circumstance of the parable or story, designed to show the effect of faithfulness. Faithful servants of Christ shall be rewarded. This will be done by his approval, and by the rewards of the heavenly world.
