I. Christ expects us to be ready.
a. Presumption leads to separation.
They assumed they were ok.
They assumed they were prepared.
They assumed they had what they needed.
Jesus spoke about a day when people who presumed they were ok will find out different.
b. Preparation leads to jubilation.
This was a feast!
II.
Christ expects us to be busy.
Matt 25:14-
In NT times, it was a unit of monetary reckoning (though not an actual coin), valued at about 6,000 drachmas, the equivalent of about 20 years’ wages for a laborer.
a. Christ is a generous master.
A talent would have according to the ESV Study Bible worth 20 years salary - upwards of $600,000.
b.
We must be faithful stewards.
1. Christ rewards the faithful.
Christ’s rewards are based on personal fidelity not quantity.
Jesus is not concerned with how much as he is with how faithful.
Will Christ commend your faithfulness?
Then Look at the Next scene.
Matt 25:24-30
2. Christ punishes the fickle.
The fickle servant called him master but said he was difficulty!
This is the sin of omission.
- Biblical Christianity is not simply defined by what we must not do - it is also defined by what we must do!
Will Christ condemn your laziness?
John Piper states
“Desire that your life count for something great!
Long for your life to have eternal significance.
Want this! Don’t coast through life.”
John Piper
He blamed the master
He blamed the master
