Two talents/Matthew 25:14-30
Every good gift and gift we have is from above, from the Father of Lights.
What talents do we have? In fact, there is none of mine except for sin.
I. There are some who have received little talents from God.
God did not make humans alike. The reason is firstly because of the sovereignty of God.
As the parable of the potter tells us, God has the right to act according to his will.
Don't blame the worms for the bad angels and the fish for not having wings. one second creator
Because you like diversity. The stars in the night sky, the plants on the ground, everyone is different.
Third, He also gives a small amount of talent to fill the small area. Big ships and big fish are the sea
It is necessary, but a small fish or pike must have a river or stream. Fourth, the greatness of grace
It is to show.
II. Smaller talents are counted on the Last Judgment Day.
But God judges the little things. Even a hero like Napoleon can only do his heroic deeds.
He judges even the smallest sins. Also, God judges individually, and
He judges and judges accurately and without prejudice. Those who received 5 talents must leave 5 talents, but 2 months
Those who have received the talent need only have 2 talents left.
III. The Unprofitable Servant and the Faithful Servant
On the other hand, the servant who received a month's ransom was cast out into darkness outside as a useless servant. why so
was it? The Jews explained the concept of loyalty as the principle of sacrifice.
Because he never denied being a servant, but he was a wicked, lazy, irresponsible, and unsacrificing man
All. He complained that the owner was a hard man, and made the excuse that he gave him too little. thank,
There was no humility, no regrets, no sacrifice.
So, does emphasizing these things mean that we are saved by works? isn't it
All. Jesus said, “When we hunger and thirst, we were strangers, we were naked, sick, and imprisoned, those who helped us were prepared.
'Entering the kingdom' does not mean salvation by works, but living faith.
All. Faith without works is dead faith. Those who have been regenerated must have the fruit of faith. two months
The person who received the loan is one who has led a responsible life.
closing words.
First, we were born with a mission, and we live for that mission. The large and small number of talents
Have you been loyal all the time, not me? do is the problem. Like Dr. John Kromminga
Eun also served as a choir member for 23 years. Criteria for evaluating life before death
is loyalty. Loyalty is a life of faithfulness, a life of faith. We are God-given
You must know it as your mission and fulfill it faithfully.
May all the saints make good use of the two talents I have received for Christ and his gospel.
I sincerely hope that you will become a missionary who will receive praise and love from the Lord as a faithful servant.
