The Parable of the Talents - Matthew 25:20–21, 26–29
"But his lord answered and said to him, 'You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown,
and gather where I have not scattered seed.
So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.
So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 'For everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away."
Kingdom Insight:
What is entrusted must be developed. Fear, delay, and preservation without growth are not neutral.
