Show Notes for Grains from Gutteridge Podcast Episode #19:
Good Servants and Unprofitable Servants

(Anonymous)
Scripture Reading:
Matthew 25:14-30
Summary:
From the parables of Jesus, the Good Servants and the Unprofitable Servants are delineated with their ultimate rewards. But there are not just two divisions on earth — the saved and the unsaved. There is a division in the ranks of the saved: there are servants and servant-sons. Servants may believe they are sons because they have been taught so. But sons have an inner witness to sonship, given by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Not a fragment, but the whole,
Shall be Thine, dear Lord,
Shall be Thine, dear Lord.
