Two New Testament Greek words are translated steward. This word appears several times in the New Testament. Both words are similar in significance. God appointed Jesus Lord and Christ at the resurrection. Jesus is the Master of all who surrender their lives to him.
Christians are servants.
Everything belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. As servants committed to God's purposes, Christians seek to serve as responsible stewards. We use everything under our control in God's best interests. We demonstrate our trustworthiness in the manner we use material things for God's glory and purposes. A major spiritual crisis occurs if we, the servants, regard ourselves as being the owner, the master.
