Matthew 25:14-30
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, 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.
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!’
“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.
So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 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. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
A talent was a large sum of money, not a coin. Each man is entrusted with a capital sum in line with his business ability, and he is expected to trade with it. How people use what is given them in this life will determine their future destiny.
Why?
Third story to describe the lazy servant will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Lord gives us different resources, talent, and prosperity as gifts. Can we like lazy servants don't do anything? No. we should use these resources to make them more and benefit others. Especially the wealthy is needy to the gospel.
Different servant God gives us a different gift, it is fair to everyone.

這是連續四個比喻中的第三個。1)按時分糧,2)十個童女,3)五千兩,二千兩與一千兩。誰是忠心有見識的僕人,按時分糧。4)山羊,綿羊
管理神家裏的事,好好分糧,為主人的好處著想,讓主人高興,為神的榮耀。神照每個人被造時的才幹付予不同的任務。神給人託付不一樣,賞賜卻是一樣。為主做事本身就是恩典。沒有貪污、沒有損失主人就滿意了嗎?這是指一種人什麼都不做,只是等耶穌再來。我們不是不做,而是繼續做,成為更多的祝福!這種僕人只顧自己,只要將來被提就好了,神是否得榮耀關心。

How?
Do our best of talent to earn more and waiting for the coming again of Jesus Christ.
