Summary of Matthew 25:14-
In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells His disciples that when He returns, He will judge the living and the dead. He will also give each person a robe of righteousness and a crown of life. Those who have done good will be clothed in white robes, and those who have done evil will be clothed in black robes. The righteous will be happy, and the wicked will be miserable.
Parable of the Talents
In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus tells a story of a master who divides his servants into three groups. The first group is given five talents, the second group is given two talents, and the third group is given one talent. The master then asks each servant to invest their talents in different ways. The first servant invested all of his money in land, the second servant invested all of his money in businesses, and the third servant invested all of his money in people. The master then asks each servant what they have left. The first servant has nothing left, the second servant has one talent left, and the third servant has five talents left. The master then asks each servant what they have produced. The first servant has produced nothing, the second servant has produced two talents, and the third servant has produced five talents. The master then asks each servant what they will have in the future. The first servant will have nothing in the future, the second servant will have one talent in the future, and the third servant will have five talents in the future. The master then asks each servant what they should have done with their five talents. The first servant should have invested their five talents in land, the second servant should have invested their five talents in businesses, and the third servant should have invested their five talents in people.
Meaning of the Parable
The Parable of the Talents is a story about a master who entrusted his three servants with different amounts of money. The first servant was given five talents, the second servant was given two talents, and the third servant was given one talent. The master told them to invest their money and then come back to him to see how much money they had.
The first two servants quickly invested their money and became very wealthy. However, the third servant didn’t invest his money and when he came back to the master, he had only one talent left. The master told him to go and spend his money in the town.
The third servant went into the town and spent his one talent on everything he could. He bought food, clothes, and he even bought a house. When he came back to the master, he had become very wealthy. The master was very impressed with how much money the third servant had made and he gave him back all of his original money.
The lesson of the Parable of the Talents is that it is important to invest your money wisely. If you don’t invest your money, you will eventually lose it.
Application of the Parable
In today’s gospel lesson, we read about a man who had everything he could ever want. However, when he died, he found himself in a place he never imagined. He was in a place where there was no light, no warmth, and no happiness. In this place, he found himself in the company of those who had also lost everything. The man asked them, “How can you be happy here, when you have nothing?” The answer the man received was simple: “Because we have each other.” The man then realized that, even in this place, he still had something worth living for. The people he met in this place were the ones who made him realize that, even in the darkest of times, there is still something to be happy for.
How to use the Parable in Sunday School
In Sunday School, we often study the Parable of the Talents. In this parable, Jesus tells a story of a master who entrusted his three talents to three different people. Each person was to use their talent to create something new.
The first person used their talent to build a house. The second person used their talent to buy a lot of food. The third person used their talent to invest in a business.
When it was time for the master to return, he found that all three of the people had used their talents differently. The house was ruined, the food was gone, and the business was bankrupt.
The lesson of the Parable of the Talents is that we should use our talents to create something new, something that has never been done before. We should not be afraid to try new things, and we should always be willing to learn.
Examples of Activities to Teach the Parable
One way to teach the parable of the talents is to have students do an activity where they have to use their talents to achieve a goal. For example, in a Sunday School lesson, students could be given a project to complete, such as painting a mural, writing a story, or creating a sculpture. Once the project is completed, the students can discuss how they used their talents to complete the task. Another way to teach the parable of the talents is to have students read the passage and then discuss what they think the parable is teaching.
In the conclusion of this lesson, we looked at how Jesus’ return will be a time of great rejoicing. We also looked at a Sunday School lesson on Matthew 25:14-30. In this passage, Jesus speaks about the fate of those who have followed Him. He says that those who have done good will go to heaven, while those who have done evil will go to hell.
Summary of the Parable
In today’s gospel lesson, we hear the Parable of the Talents. The story is about a master who entrusted his three talents to three different people. Each person was to use their talent to create something new. The first person used their talent to build a house. The second person used their talent to invest in a business. The third person used their talent to give to others.
At the end of the day, the master was pleased with all three of the people’s work. However, he was especially pleased with the third person, who had given away all of their talent to others. The master said to them, “You have been faithful with what you have been given, so I will give you more. Now go and do the same thing with the other two talents.”
This story is a reminder to be faithful with what we have been given. We should use our talents to create something new, and we should give away what we have to others.
Summary of the Application of the Parable

He was in a place where there was no light, no warmth, and no happiness. In this place, he found himself surrounded by people who were also in a place of darkness and despair. The man asked the Lord why he was there. The Lord replied, “These are the ones who did not believe in me when I came to them with my signs and wonders. But now they will see them and believe because my Father has sent me.” The man then asked the Lord to take him back to his home, but the Lord said, “No, I have chosen you to go to these people. I am going to make you the light of the world.” The man then asked the Lord to take him back to his home, but the Lord said, “No, I have chosen you to go to these people. I am going to make you the light of the world.”
