September 22, 2024: Faithful or Successful? - Michael Hidalgo
Manage episode 441249602 series 2529411
Jesus tells a parable about a master giving money to his servants. Too often we approach this from our modern, capitalistic, Western viewpoint. But the hint that this is not about money is found on the lips of the master when he returns … he praises his servants for being “faithful” not successful. These are two wildly different things and it would do us well to pay attention to this for a moment.
To invest the master’s money while he is gone seeking to become king is a vote of confidence the master will return as king. To bury the money until the master returns reflects a belief the master may not return as king, and it’s best to wait it out and see what happens. The difference between the faithful and wicked servants is their belief and trust in the king.
Which raises a question for the hearer of this story … “How are we using the gifts given to us?” Do our lives and the time we spend reflect our confidence in our king?
