What Do You Have in your Hand (6) cont...

What Do You Have in your Hand (6) continued.

"The Parable of the Talents or the Bags of Gold" can be found in Matthew 25: 14 to 30.

Please read it and attempt to answer this all too important question:

Why did God give the un-utilized bag of gold he took from the foolish servant to the one who had 10 bags instead of the one with 2 bags?

The reason borders around God's unwillingness for even one man to perish in sin.

In Luke 16:9, Jesus enlightened his disciples thus:
"I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings."
Our wealth is meant to help bring others to God and in so doing fulfil the mandate of Jesus to us, as in John 10:16, where he said, 
"I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."

God has no delight in the death of even one sinner. he is patient, ....not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).

God is a business man like no other. His business is the redemption of the souls of men to Himself, no matter the cost; so in answering the question with another question, I put this to you:

If giving the un-utilized bag of gold He took from the foolish servant to the one who was with 10 bags meant that more men would repent and be saved and therefore snatched from the fires of hell than giving it to the one with 5 bags, who would you give the un-utilized bag of gold to?

You will be given more, and will have an abundance when you utilize what God has put in your hand but if you act like one that doesn't have because you feel it's too menial, or some other lousy reason, then even what have but don't value will be taken from you and given to another.

Shalom
