It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes — blessed are the servants the master finds awake on his return, so that he will dress himself to serve, have them recline at the table, and come and wait on them. The reversal — the master serving the servants — is the kingdom's social inversion made concrete: the Messiah who came not to be served but to serve will serve his faithful servants at the eschatological banquet.
