MASTER/SERVANT RELATIONSHIP
While sheep stay outside, servants at least live in the same household as the master and talk with Him as long as it is business. The servant enjoys a more intimate relationship. The parable of the talents (see Matthew 25:14-30) and the parable of the ten minas (see Luke 19:11-27) refer to this level of this relationship. However, servants know little of what is happening with the master, other than what they are directly involved with. A servant’s value is derived from how well he/she can complete the master’s will. While it is important for us to serve God wholeheartedly and do His will, God stills longs to have an even greater level of intimacy that this.
