Matthew 25:29-30 “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Every time I read this parable I think of Christians, believers of Jesus, weeping and gnashing their teeth. Are we just along for the ride or are we opening God’s word and living it out? As fully devoted followers of Jesus we should be doing everything we can to act and be like Christ. Going to church and knowing what the Bible says isn’t being devoted. We must continually act out our faith by investing in people and showing them our love for God. In the parable of the three servants the first one got 5 bags of silver and he said he earned two 5 more. The second got 2 bags and he said he earned 2 more. These men didn’t sit back and say I accepted Jesus I’m good to go, they lived their belief out and belonged to it. As we read God’s word with our hearts open we should feel the desire to give, serve and share with everyone. Or are we the last servant that goes to church sits there, enjoys what is said but does nothing? I say try being a part of the game by doing more as you are lead by your heart which you have filled with Christ. Open God’s word up everyday but more importantly do what it says in all areas of your life. Amen
