The Parable of the Talents is a well-known story told by Jesus in both Matthew 25:14-30 and Luke 19:12-27. In this parable, a master entrusts his servants with different amounts of money (talents) before he goes away on a journey. Two of the servants invest the money and earn a profit, but the third servant buries the money in the ground. When the master returns, he rewards the two servants who invested the money and put it to work, but he punishes the third servant for his inaction and laziness.
This parable teaches us about the importance of stewardship and using our God-given gifts and resources for His Kingdom. It challenges us to be faithful in our service to God, to take risks and invest in His work, and to avoid being paralyzed by fear or laziness.
