So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents” (Matt 25:26-29). Enter into the joy of your master” (Matt 25:23) but the one who had been given one buried and or did nothing with it at all and the master says “You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. You have been faithful over a little I will set you over much. The one who received two talents also doubled his talents and the master also said “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matt 25:21). One servant doubled his five talents to ten (Matt 25:20) and the master says “Well done, good and faithful servant. It should be noted that the talent is a monetary value of money (as the Greek says) and is equivalent to about twenty years labor, so it’s a significant amount of money we’re talking about and this parable is about the stewardship that God has entrusted to us with what we’ve been given. Parables are earthly stories that teach a heavenly concept and this is what Jesus was doing in the Parable of the Talents (Matt 25:14-30) and the man going on the journey is likely Jesus Himself Who gives His servants talents (Matt 25:14) and “To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” Matthew 25:29 “ For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. Every one of us have been given talents, time, and treasure so what have we done with these and what will we do with them since we are all stewards of God.
