WT-The Faithful and Discreet Slave-Matt-24:45-47-
The New World Translation NWT
45 “Who really is the faithful and
discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their
food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on
arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings.
Luke
12 41-42 NWT
41 Then Peter
said: “Lord, are you saying this illustration to us or also to all?”
42 And the Lord
said: “Who really is the faithful steward, the discreet one, whom his master
will appoint over his body of attendants to keep giving them their measure of
food supplies at the proper time?
Who really is the faithful
and discreet slave whom his master appointed
over his domestics, to give them their
food at the proper time?—Matt. 24:45.
One of the
means Jesus uses to lead us today is the Holy Spirit, which Jehovah God has
authorized his Son to employ. (Matt. 28:18) Today’s text points to another
means by which Christ leads the congregation. The “master” is Jesus Christ. The
“slave” is the group of anointed Christians on earth. This slave class is
entrusted with caring for Jesus’ earthly interests and with providing timely
spiritual food. A small group of qualified overseers from among the composite “faithful and
discreet slave” form the Governing Body. They direct the worldwide
Kingdom-preaching work and the supplying of spiritual nourishment at the right
time. Christ thus leads the congregation by means of the spirit-anointed
“faithful and discreet slave” and its Governing Body.

As
Jehovah’s modern-day servants, we cherish our good relationship with God. We
are eager to learn and apply in our lives valuable lessons from past events.
(Romans 15:4) When the Israelites walked by sight, they forgot that God through
Moses was directing them. If we are not careful, we too can forget that Jehovah
God and the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, are directing the Christian
congregation today. (Revelation 1:12-16) We must be on guard against taking a
human view of the earthly part of Jehovah’s organization. Our doing so can lead
to a complaining spirit and a loss of appreciation for Jehovah’s
representatives as well as for the spiritual food provided by “the faithful and
discreet slave.”—Matthew 24:45.

Stand still in the ways,
you people, and see, and ask for
the roadways of long ago.—Jer.
Since late
in the 19th century, Christ’s anointed followers have applied the counsel
of Jeremiah 6:16 to themselves. Jer 6:16 As a class, they have led the way in a wholehearted return
to “the roadways of long ago.” By providing spiritual food at the proper time,
the faithful slave class has helped millions to find “the roadways of long ago”
and to walk with God. (Matt. 24:45-47) Are you among those millions? If so,
what can you do to avoid drifting away, turning to follow your own course? It
is wise to stop periodically and examine the way you are walking in life. If
you faithfully read the Bible and Bible-based publications and attend the
programs of instruction sponsored by the anointed today, then you are being
trained to walk with God. And when you humbly apply the counsel you are given,
you are following “the roadways of long ago.w
