- Matthew 24:48
But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’
Commentary on Matthew 24:482 voices
There are verses in this passage which are often much misapplied. “The coming of the Son of Man” is frequently spoken of as being the same thing as death; the texts which describe the uncertainty of his coming are used in epitaphs, and thought suitable to the tomb. But there is no solid ground for such an application of this passage. Death is one thing, and the coming of the Son of Man is quite another. The subject of these verses is not death, but the second advent of Jesus Christ. Let us remember this.
J.C. Ryle· Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew, 1856
But, and if that evil servant - Here are three characters of a bad minister. 1. He has little or no faith in the speedy coming of Christ, either to punish for wickedness, or to pardon and sanctify those who believe. It may be, he does not outwardly profess this, but he says it in his heart, and God searches his heart, and knows that he professes to teach what he does not believe. 2. He governs with an absolute dominion, oppressing his colleagues and doing violence to the followers of Christ. And shall begin to smite, etc.

- Matthew 24:49
And he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.

J.C. Ryle· Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew, 1856
And every Bishop, who ministers not as a fellow servant, but rules by might as a master, and often an harsh one, sins against God; also if he does not cherish the needy, but feasts with the drunken, and is continually slumbering because his Lord cometh not till after long time.
