Hebrews 5:8; Matthew 28:20; Luke 19:13HEB 5:8MAT 28:20LUK 19:13
What a pattern we have of obedience in our Lord Jesus Christ. He was a Son, and yet learned obedience through the things He suffered. He was made perfect, and is now the author of eternal salvation unto all them that "obey" Him. We who believe, can say, "Blessed Savior, Jesus the Lord.”
In the next scripture we are to teach those who believe to "observe" all things whatsoever the Lord commands. I am afraid there is a good deal other than this taught. Let me ask you to make God and His Word your guide, and the Holy Spirit your counselor, and keep near to the one you are taught by God to believe on: Jesus, His beloved Son.
The servants are in trust in the third scripture, and they are to "occupy" till the return of the "nobleman." The citizens hate him. How Christ is hated today! The servants (any who serve) must occupy; they will be called on to give an account of their stewardship on the return of the "nobleman." "Obey" Christ, for only then are we really able to serve. "Observe" His things and teach them. "Occupy" fully and constantly till He comes. O, fix our earnest gaze, so wholly, Lord, on Thee, that, with Thy beauty occupied, we elsewhere none may see.
