Matthew 25:14 - 25:30

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In Matthew 25:14-30, Steve Gregg speaks about the responsibility of disciples of Jesus to pursue the interests of the Kingdom of God and advance its progress. The parable talks about how talents are not only related to money, but also to time, abilities, connections, and whatever can accrue to the advantage of positively influencing people towards Christ. The reward is received not based on the amount given, but on the results produced through risky investment or low-risk opportunities, used to promote the interests of Christ. The focus lies in being prepared to speak the word of Christ and promote the gospel when the opportunity presents itself.
