Matthew 24-25, records the Lord's heart of empathy and love blended with unfaltering blessedness. This segment of Scripture, including the Parable of the Talents, constitutes last admonitions, predictions, and supportive gestures to His kin Israel before His takeoff. He, who is their Lord, is leaving for an undisclosed timeframe. He is assigning to them the duty, as stewards, to tend to His kingdom. The Parable of the Talents, Matthew 25:14-30, urges them the heaviness of that duty and the genuine outcomes of fail to comprehend and apply His guidelines. There is additionally a message to all humanity.
In the event that the gifts are abilities of gold, the estimation of what the ace endowed to the stewards would be hugely high, in the a large number of dollars. Since the Lord utilizes just the expression "abilities" we should make a few suspicions, however it appears to be sensible to accept that the proprietor of the gifts, the man going into a far nation, was a rich man. He is entrusting his riches to three men who move toward becoming stewards of his cash. One gets five abilities. Another gets two abilities. A third steward gets one ability. Each is given a lot of cash. These are stewards endowed with the care of the cash. The stewards must know the identity and character of their Lord. He anticipates that them will know Him all around ok to apply the soul and in addition the letter of His directions. Those that do are lavishly remunerated. The others get serious judgment. The sum given depends on every steward's capacity. The initial two comprehend the soul and letter of directions and the character of their Lord. They both utilize the assets by "exchanging" to pick up a benefit. Every one of them influences a 100 percent to benefit. Dread and question of his Lord inspire the third steward. He covers the cash in the earth and returns the first sum. The beneficial stewards are applauded, given expanded duties and welcomed to go into the delight of their Lord. The untrusting steward is reprimanded, dismissed, and rebuffed.
The use of this illustration must be comprehended inside the setting of the message of Matthew 24-25. It is initial a message to the general population of Israel that will live in the most recent days before the Lord returns. The announcement, in Matthew 24:13, "However he that might persevere unto the end, the same should be spared," is a key articulation. This is the trusting remainder that will get the guarantee of the kingdom. In Matthew 24:32-34, the Lord states, "Now take in an anecdote of the fig tree; When his branch is yet delicate, and putteth forward leaves, ye realize that mid year is near: So in like manner ye, when ye might see every one of these things, realize that it is close, even at the entryways. Verily I say unto you, This age might not go, till every one of these things be satisfied." These will be alive when He returns and will have comprehended and trusted their Lord. The application to the general population of Israel is realistic and important. Those that trust Him will be remunerated in His kingdom. The premise of the reward will be their stewardship of His assets endowed to them. The individuals who fear and don't accept will be dismissed and judged.
There is additionally a general application to all humanity. From the season of the making of humankind, every individual has been endowed with assets of time and material riches. All that we have originates from God and has a place with Him. We are in charge of utilizing those assets with the goal that they increment in esteem. As Christians, we have also the most important asset of all – the Word of God. On the off chance that we accept and comprehend Him, and apply His Word as great stewards, we are a gift to others and the estimation of what we do duplicates. We are responsible to the Lord for the utilization of His assets.
