His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Ver. 21. Thou hast been faithful over a few things] So the Lord calleth the greatest measure of grace here attainable, in comparison of heaven's holiness and happiness, Ne donis vel bonis nostris efferamur. What is a spark to the sun, a drop to the ocean?

Enter thou into the joy of tby Lord] A joy too big to enter into us, we must enter into it. A joy more meet for the Lord than the servant. Yet such a Lord do we serve, as will honour his servants with such a joy. Among men it is otherwise, Luke 17:7; Gen 15:2-3 1 Kings 11:28; 1 Kings 11:40 .
