Charles Ellicott Commentary Matthew 24:46

"Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing." — Matthew 24:46 (ASV)

Blessed is that servant —The words, taken literally, seem to refer only to those who are found in this way at the time of the final Advent. Christian insight, however, has rightly given them a wider application. As there are “days of the Lord” in the history of churches and nations, so the Lord comes to people in the crises of their individual lives; and one such coming is the day of death, which closes the time of trial of their earthly life and brings them into the presence of the Judge.
