Good And Faithful Servant

Matthew 25:20-21 ESV

20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more. ’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.   You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. ’ 

Matthew 25:28-30

28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29   For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ’ 

We have the bread of life. We are to break the bread, give thanks, eat and share. Jesus fed the crowds by the increase of what little the disciples had, what He was given to work with.  In the abundance, everyone was satisfied and there was some leftover. 

We don't have control sometimes of what comes our way, but how we respond is up to us. Doing nothing we lose everything.

We have the grace of life as a gift. Let us be the good and faithful servant.
