Talents--- Work For the Masters Interest

“TALENTS," WORK FOR THE MASTERS INTEREST Working against master’s interest wise slave not want to do. Nor should any Christian today Including me… and you. Imagine, one talent’s value way back in Bible days. Laboring man earn in fourteen years what silver talent... pays. Talents were given to each slave according to ability. Not like, one mina for each slave. this time talents …did see. First slave given five, second, two to another, just one. Illustration, shows the privilege, increase followers…each one. According to ability Masters goods, in slaves care. Should show interest in his estate build up their…Master’s share. Even if didn’t want to invest or diligently trade. Deposit in the bank so sure, some interest would be made. Wicked slave, one who did nothing with silver that he had. Buried and hidden, laid idle didn’t make Master…glad. Working against Master’s interest In effect what he did. Are we in some way doing same Pray not…heaven forbid! Working for our Master’s interest what everyone should do. Are you out making disciples? If Christ did…we should too! - September 21, 2018 copyright All rights reserved

Commission to make disciples all christians responsibility, plus teaching Good News of what the Kingdom will accomplish. Making Jehovah, God's name known Christ told God he had done before he died. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for reading. Wanted poem to be a witness and teaching reminder. Making disciples, teaching about the Kingdom, and making God'd name ,(not titles) known one of the reasons Christ came to earth. Our job too. Thanks again.
