25.13 Another parable (like 24.42-44) about keeping watch.
25.29 The apparently unfair redistribution highlights the importance of the message – to be faithful in making use of the talents we have been entrusted with.
25.30 Again (compare 24.45-50) the Master doesn’t take the servants to where he has been, but he returns to where the servants are and stays there. And again (compare 24.51) some are thrown out, to weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The corporate message to Israel is not so obvious to us today (thank you, Tom). Does Britain have a responsibility towards God? Does the Church of England, or indeed Christians generally?
And have I found my true calling from God, and am I using my God-given talents to the full? A question for all of us.
