Matthew 25:24-30

The servant that did not use his talent Matthew 25:24-30: The man that did not use what God put into his hands is one of the most condemned men in the entire Bible. "You wicked and lazy servant... take the talent from him... cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 25:26-30) "Being ready" when the master comes consists not only of keeping pure but also of active and faithful service that produces good results.

What the unfaithful servant had was taken from him and given to the servant that had ten talents. The master said, "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." Those that are faithful in God's service will have more opportunities for service and blessing. Those that are unfaithful will loose the blessings that they earlier had. Use what God puts into your hands for His glory or stand condemned before your Marker!
