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 ...

Some of the Bible stories just seem to filter into the culture. Sometimes we don’t even recognize that they’re Bible stories to begin with. One of the parables of Jesus came into the culture in a very powerful way somewhere around the 1200s, and is still widely known in our culture today. Here is the Common English Bible’s translation of Matthew 25...
The gist of the story is that the master gives one servant 5 of these coins, another 2, and a third just one. Then he goes away. At some point, the master returns, calls the servant in and asks them what they’ve done with her money. The one that was given five, shows up with ten. The one given two shows up with four. Both have doubled the money giv...
Lately, I have approached this story different—trying to see it from the perspective of the master rather than the servant. He had equipped these servants with everything they needed. He had set them up for success, and rather than using what he had been given, this one just goes about his everyday living as if nothing has changed. He takes this va...
Servant three also plays this weird game with the master is his confession. He passive-aggressively blames the master for his lack of effort. “I knew that you are a hard man,” he says. “You harvest grain where you haven’t sown. You gather crops where you haven’t spread seed.” There are very few I statements there, and a bunch of you statements. T...

Apr 21, 2018 · This is why the master was so angry at the servant who did nothing with the talent he was given (Matthew 25:26–27). The servant blamed the master’s character for his lack of diligence (Matthew 25:24–25). But the master saw through this smoke screen and called the servant what he was: “wicked and slothful” (Matthew 25:26).
