Investing in God's work

Matthew 25:14-30

It seems odd that Jesus would consider putting the money in the bank rather than entrust the talent to the lazy lout.  Even Jesus has a financial sense.

Let's look at the faith in terms of investment and utilize financial sense to enrich the spiritual sense.

There are three components to this:

Capital - what we have that we can give
Gain - what we want to attain in the future
Time - how much time we spend

It is simply the offering of our time, talent, and treasure that can make up for this.  And if we are truly intent on leading our children to heaven (gain), we would invest our time, talents, and treasure (capital) in doing God's work, not our own.

When do we start? Future is already too late.  Past is long gone. What we have is now and invest our lives in doing God's work.
