Enter thou Into the joy of thy Lord. PRIMARY Story of thu Three Servants. JUNIOR Stewards and How They Kept Their Trust.

Stcwnrtlship in money is only si smtill of our This parahle like Hint of the ten virgins is associated with the second coming of Christ. In both instances the unprepurednesa for coining on the purt of the people i.s exhibited. In that of the ten virgins their unreadiness consisted In their failure of lnwnrd of the Holy Ohost.

In this of (lie talents It consisted in their failure to properly use the gifts which had been entrusted to them. The Hrst was failure to watch; the second was failure to work. By talents is meant whatever gifts and powers one possesses us gifts from God, whether of nature or grace, such as strength, reason, en orgy, knowledge, Intluence, time, money, ability to speak, sing, etc. I. The Distribution of the Talents (vv.

14, 15). 1. It was a sovereign act. lie called his own servants and distributed to them his own money. As thu One who created us und iihsolutelj owns us, lie has assigned us our places and given us our several powers, intending that we pvit them to tin best possible use.

2. It was an intelligent act. "According to his several ability." The God who made us knew our ability to use gifts, therefore has made the distribution upon that basis. 3. It was a purposeful act.

The talents were given to be traded with. They were not given to lie used for one's own gain and profit, but as stock In trade for the enrichment und glory of the Master. II. The Employment of the Talents (vv. 16-18).

1. All the servants recognized thai the tulents were not their they were responsible to the Lord for the use made of them. 2. Two used their talents. The five-talented man put his to use and gained five more.

The two-talented man put his to use and gained two more. This shows that God's gifts can be increased. The exercise of any gift increases it. The faithful use of what we have in the place we are will prepare us for greater usefulness nrid honor. 3.

The one hid his tialent. The fact that one possesses but one. talent should not discourage him, but should make hirn strive harder. God does not reward according to what we possess, but according to our faithfulness. The crime of the one talented man was i not that he had but one talent, but i thai he hid the tuluni which the Lord: gave him.

III. The Accounting for the Talents (vv, UK10). 1. Its certainty. There Is a day coming when we all must give an account of our stewardship.

2. The time. This will ho a( coming of iiie Lord If we have done well, we then have praise. it we have been Miil'aiilifiil, we shall be cast 'Hit from I lie prc-eiiee of l.lir Lord. I B.
