Spiritual Productivity

Matthew 25:19-23

After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. "Master," he said, "you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more." His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!" The man with two bags of gold also came. "Master," he said, "you entrusted me with two bags of gold: see, I have gained two more." His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!" (NIVUK)

This passage continues Jesus’ parable about an investor (Matthew 25:14-30). The wealthy man had placed significant sums of money with three of his servants, before he went on his travels. He trusted them to do good business and produce a profit. The servants were not given equal amounts to invest and trade with. Each had as much as their master knew they could handle. After a long time, the boss returned. He wanted to know what they had done with the money entrusted to them.
