Admin	Parable of The Talents Posted : 4 Feb, 2012 08:16 AM What is the spiritual meaning and massage of this parable God wants us as Christian believers to consider and take hold of today? Matthew 25:14 �Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master�s money. 19 �After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. �Master,� he said, �you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.� �His master replied, �Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master�s happiness!� �The man with two bags of gold also came. �Master,� he said, �you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.� �His master replied, �Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master�s happiness!� 24 �Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. �Master,� he said, �I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.� �His master replied, �You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28 ��So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.� Post Reply

AsmileForever View Profile History	Parable of The Talents Posted : 7 Feb, 2012 01:19 PM The best part of the parable is it made logical sense until 2010. But in 2010 the man who invested his money lost it in the economy failing and the second man put his in the bank and the banks collapsed. The third buried his money and when the master returned the third guy was the only one with any money. Would your boss fire you if you lost all his money? Post Reply
