Where he buried it; that is, he neglected the gift that was in him, he made no use of it, either to his own advantage, or to the good of others, and the interest of his Lord; he either never went into the ministry, or if he did, he left it as Demas did, having too great affection for the world, and the things of it: he minded earth and earthly things, and employed himself in them, and not in ...

What does Matthew 25:18 mean? Jesus' parable has described two amazingly impressive servants. Their master left them massive sums of money to manage for him while he was on a journey. They have both doubled their master's funds by using the money to start trading businesses. That is remarkable (Matthew 25:14–17).
The parallel gospel account of Matthew 25:14-30 is found in Luke 19:11 —27.. A similar parable is also found in Mark's record of the Olivet Discourse in Mark 13:34 —37.. By means of parables, Jesus continued to illustrate and explain key points from His answers to the disciples' questions about the end of the age and His return, while sitting with them on the Mount of Olives.

Jesus uses the Parable of the Talents to help us understand our calling as Christians and our responsibility to use what God has given us to bring Him glory and honor! We have the most valuable gift of all, the Word of God and the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. This gift is for us to share with others through our words and actions. It is a great re...
Christ keeps no servants to be idle: they have received their all from him, and have nothing they can call their own but sin. Our receiving from Christ is in order to our working for him. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. The day of account comes at last. We must all be reckoned with as to what good we have got...
The parable of the talents is one of those Bible stories most of us know, yet it’s hard to understand. It’s been referenced in many places—even odd places like H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man where a foolish theologian suggests a stranger’s problem is he only has one talent. Most of us find it hard to un-crack, especially given the third servant gets...
The parable of the talents is told in Matthew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:11-27. The parable begins with a master planning a trip (Luke describes him as going off to be made king of a distant land). Before he goes, the master brings his servants together (three in the Matthew version, 10 in the Luke version). He gives each of them some money. In the Matth...
The story of Jesus telling this parable really begins in Matthew 24when he mentions the coming destruction of Jerusalem. The disciples ask for details about the last days, and Jesus talks about how harsh they will be, warning them to look out for false teachers and so forth. He then gives several messages and illustrations: - The wise and faithful ...
We often mix up the word “talent” in the currency sense with our modern English word “talent” meaning gifts, and it’s important to understand the money context of what Jesus was saying. Knowing that Jesus was describing servants being given huge amounts of cash to invest helps us to understand just how generous the master was being, the opportunity...
There’s a famous scene in the movie Chariots of Firewhere future Olympian Eric Liddell feels a tension between his chance to be an Olympic runner and his calling to be a missionary in China. Eventually, he tells his sister he will go to the Olympics and then to the mission field, because both honor God. “God made me for a purpose, for China,” Lidde...

As the story has already revealed, this servant simply buried the money the master gave him (Matthew 25:18). He gives an explanation in this and the following verse. He tells the master, in essence, that he sees the master as someone who finds ways to take as his own things that are not his.

Now the servant says it was fear which led him to do nothing with the assets given him by the master. This suggests he was afraid of the master's response if he lost the money. To avoid that, he buried the money in the ground and now returns it. He concludes by saying, "have what is yours."
