When the Master returns to earth, you can be sure He will not take His talents back. They will remain ours for
all time. They and the benefits they bring in their trail are forever ours. The Master's rewards to His servants
in these two parables are worth noting.
The Good Servant:―His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.‖ (Matt 25:21)
(16) ―Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
(17) And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have
thou authority over ten cities.
(18) And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
(19) And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.‖ (Luke 19:16-19)
The Wicked Servant:It is quite impossible to imagine the grief of believers who are represented by this last servant. It will be tragic
to say the least.
―(26) His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where
I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: (27) Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. (28) Take therefore the
talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. (29) For unto every one that hath shall be given,
and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. (30)
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.‖ Matt
25: 26 - 30
These parables point to an eternity of matchless joy for those servants who make good use of the talents
they receive. They will enter the Kingdom of Heaven when their Master says: ―Enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord!‖ Are you going to be amongst them? Are you using the talents YHWH has given you? Or are you
burying them in the world - the earth? Make sure you are putting your talents to proper use. It matters little
how many talents you have, or how few. The important thing is to use them. The Apostle Paul wrote shortly
before his death:
(6) ―For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
(7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
(8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.‖ (2 Tim.4: 6-8)
May YHWH grant that all of us here can echo those words and hear the Master say:
―Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.‖
25:29-30 For unto every one that hath shall be given―(29) For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he hath. (30) And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.‖
Y‘shua's stern message here is that even those who are given a small amount from YHWH will be held
accountable to Him for what they did with it (i.e., All believers are called to obedience). You will land in the
Lake of Fire forever by also rejecting the truth.
25:31-46 When the Son of man shall come in his glory―(31) When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon
the throne of his glory: (32) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (33) And he shall set the sheep on his right
hand, but the goats on the left. (34) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: (35) For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
(36) Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (37)
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,
