What reward will you receive?
Matt 25 Faithfulness is Rewarded
Jesus is again teaching and He uses three examples of faithfulness in contrast to the unfaithful. The 5 virgins were faithful to prepare, yet 5 others were not prepared and wanted oil from the faithful. They heard, NO! Go and buy oil for your own lamps. Am I faithful in my preparation to meet to meet the Lord? The slaves were given talents to invest and two did faithfully but the 3rd did not. He was fearful of the Master but did not obey His instructions. The sheep and goats were separated and only the sheep were able to enter the kingdom that God had prepared for them.
Out of these three examples Jesus is saying are you being faithful with the treasures I have given to you. Whatever your gift is use it for Him and His kingdom, otherwise you may hear, I never knew you. What gift has God given you to use for His kingdom? If you don’t know your gift, seek and find and the door will be opened to you.
