First English Lutheran, Kimball Parable of the Talents, Part 6 Let’s look at Matthew 25:28-30: “Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 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. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Last week we looked at verses 24 through 27, where Jesus continued His parable of the talents, specifically the reckoning of the Lord with the servant who received one talent. This week we look at verses 28 through 30, where Jesus concludes His parable of the talents, demonstrating the eternal punishment upon the unprofitable servant who hid his talent in the earth rather than working for the Lord and bringing Him glory.

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

Someone holds a grocery line spot while their partner fills the cart. Is that cutting?

A shopper with one item stands ahead of you in a long checkout line. Just before reaching the register, their partner arrives with a cart packed to the top and joins them. They insist they were shopping together all along.

Can one person reserve a place in line for an unknown amount of work?
