Matthew Twenty Five

Chapter 25

1 - 13 The Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids

A good parable about being responsible (I don't know why I'm thinking about the music folders)

14 - 30 The Parable of the Talents

My favorite thing about this is the master rebukes the guy who buried the talent in the ground. This poor guy was afraid to risk his talent - but life is risk, and if we are blessed with something (the Word of God), we cannot be afraid to risk (our pride) to spread that Word.

31 - 46 The Judgement of the Gentiles

My favorite part of this is comes toward the end: why are those on his right taken? for feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, elcoming strangers, visiting those who are sick and in prison. It is by grace that we are saved, but now that we are saved, it is our responsiblity to do works (help others).
