Devotional: Matthew 25:14-30

Today’s passage: Matthew 25:14-30

Helpful thoughts:

  • Like yesterday’s parable, all three servants are seen outwardly as servants of the Master (Followers of Jesus Christ).
  • Different level of responsibility was given to each, but equal acknowledgement of “Well done…” was given to each obedient, diligent servant.
    • Regardless of what the servants were given, they were expected to use those resources to gain profit for the Master.  They were expected to produce.
    • Obedience in this life will result in greater responsibility and joy in the Kingdom.  There is a reward.
  • The third servant blamed the Master and His reputation for his own failure to be obedient.
    • He was found to be faithless and wicked, and therefore punished.
    • The language in verse 30 is what Christ used to describe hell.  This servant was only one outwardly (such as the 5 virgins with no oil in the previous parable). He did not have faith in the Master.

Questions to consider:

  1. Why is it so magnificent that we would be rewarded for our service?
  2. Why will it be a reward to get to serve Christ in a greater capacity?
  3. Why should we be thankful for the abilities and talents we have?
  4. Take some time to evaluate your service.  What are you doing that can bear fruit?
