Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Matthew 24

The Lord speaks of the "wicked servant" and -

"The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites..."  (Matthew 24:50–51)

In my mind, the wicked servant is an active member of the Church...thus being a servant.  And if the servant does not keep the commandments, there is no question he is a hypocrite where the Lord seems to despise the hypocrite more than all.  A servant knows better and fails to do what he knows.
