Matthew 25:14-30 New International Version The Parable of the Bags of Gold 14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 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. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 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. 20 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.’ 21 “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!’ 22 “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.’ 23 “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. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ 26 “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? 27 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 it, 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.’
How does this parable speak to us? To me there are two things; Jesus in this case said more will be given to you with those who have so if you which God has already given us two things. One part is talent the other part is faith. I believe that each one of us has been given talents. Everyone has a unique talent the second part all of us were created in some regards of a little faith a lot of faith and what happened was the servant who only had one bag. What did he say, “I didn't have faith in the master.” So you as the individual thinking about us as the listener if we don't have faith in God and in the process and trust in Him all of our works are dead. By grace we are saved, we know that we have to have faith in Jesus, we have to have faith in our fellow man to inspire them through the Holy Spirit to show case God's love! What we're here to do to be inspired is to be in spirit and The guests in season three, I hope will show case God's love and the strength and the commitment to not only have their talents be used to a maximum potential of the physical but also show the faith that they have in the process of love and commitment. So get ready for this upcoming three, it's going to kick off here very soon. Therefore, let our souls be awakened to be unified with the glory of God, our Heavenly Father now and forevermore.
