What is the purpose behind being ready, waiting and working until Jesus’ return? The Parable of the talents tells us one of the key purposes is BUILDING something while we wait. Today we look at how the working, waiting and readiness help define and build our character. The whole point of our existence is to know JESUS and be conformed to his character. Like him we want to be shaped into Good and faithful servants to the master.

What was a talent in Biblical times? It is where we derive our English word for talent- or natural gifting. In Jesus days it was a weight or measure of money equal to about 6,000 denarii! One denari is a day’s wage- meaning it would take a day laborer 20 years to earn just 1 talent. That is of HUGE value! Even just one talent is a vast resource to be given responsibility over from the Master. That means any talent we have been given came from our sovereign God… it is just as the late great Rush Limbaugh used to say: “Talent on Loan from God.” The question is- What are you doing with your loan?

Which king will you serve? In the parable of the Minas, after the master calls his servants to account, he goes to his second task— dealing with the citizens of that country who hated and rejected him. They said “We will not let HIM be king over us.” They deny the king's authority over their lives, hate him and reject him… but in the end, no matter how they reject and deny him- The King will reign. Just so with the King of Kings. We all have to choose which king we will serve and like it or not- the consequences are a matter of life and death.
