Good Servants and Unprofitable Servants
Parable of the Talents

(Anonymous)
Scripture Reading:

Matthew 25:14-30

Summary:

From the parables of Jesus, the Good Servants and the Unprofitable Servants are delineated with their ultimate rewards. But there are not just two divisions on earth — the saved and the unsaved. There is a division in the ranks of the saved: there are servants and servant-sons. Servants may believe they are sons because they have been taught so. But sons have an inner witness to sonship, given by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Shall be Thine, dear Lord.
