Cornerstone Community, Kimball Parable of the Talents, Part 5 Let’s look at Matthew 25:24-27: “Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 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: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.” Last week we looked at verses 22 and 23, where Jesus continues His parable of the talents, specifically the reckoning of the Lord with the servant who received two talents. This week we look at verses 24 through 27, where Jesus continues His parable of the talents, specifically the reckoning of the Lord with the servant who received one talent.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Rich parents want to buy their public-school class an art teacher. Should the school say no?

Parents at a well-resourced public school raise enough money for art teachers and smaller classes. Nearby schools cannot raise comparable amounts, widening differences within the same district.

Can helping your own community become unfair to the larger one?
