This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Note here, 1. That the wisdom of God dispenses his gifts and graces variously, as so many talents to his servants, to be employed and improved for his own glory, and his church's good.
2. That all such servants as have received any talents, must look to reckon and account for them: that this account must be particular, personal, exact, and impartial.
3. That all such servants as have been faithful in improving their talents, at Christ's coming shall be both commended and rewarded also. Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
Where observe, 1. That the state of the blessed is a state of joy.
2. That the joy which the blessed partake of, is the joy of their Lord; that is, the joy which he provides, and which he possesses.
3. That the way after which the saints partake of this joy, is by entering into it, which denotes the highest and the fullest participation of it. The joy is too great to enter into them, they must enter into that: Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.
