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!

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.
