Matthew 25 – The Parable of the Talents.
What I like about the parable of the talents is that it gives some down to earth requirements. Well what do I mean ? Well:
- Jesus expects us to be productive
- Our productivity should be measured. I mean our productivity should be quantifiable. Numbers.
- There are expectations for success.
- You should do your Best at all times.
- The status quo is unacceptable
- There are rewards for success and consequences for failure. It is no cum bay a. It is cut and dry. Produce.
- Now I know with this one I would get some differences of opinion BUT I firmly believe that our Lord and God has enable everyone to be a ten talent person. I do not believe that a goal would be given by our King the author of fairness and grace if it was not achievable. Everyone CAN BE a ten talent person. Not everyone wants to be. You can do it.
