I don’t believe in being in a panic every day, but someone indifferent to what’s going on is a liability to my personal safety. Your absentmindedness or indifference could cause actual harm. We also have a right to be highly selective about who is in our circle.

In short, the lesson is not about economic justice but about how we use what God has given us. Fear and inaction are what Christ warns against, not wealth creation itself. The servant who buried his talent wasn’t righteous, he was faithless.

In Jewish tradition, lending at interest to fellow Jews was prohibited (Deuteronomy 23:19-20), but that’s not the point of this parable. The parable is about faithfulness and spiritual responsibility, not financial ethics.

The first two servants are commended because they faithfully steward what was given to them, demonstrating diligence and trust. The third servant, however, is reprimanded not because he refused to exploit others but because he acted out of fear, buried his gift, and failed to produce anything.

In Matthew 25:14-30, the parable of the talents is a metaphor for God’s kingdom, not a literal lesson on economic systems. The master represents God, and the talents symbolize the gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities he entrusts to us.

No matter what’s happening in the world, politics, chaos, or distractions, don’t let fear make you bury your purpose. Keep building, keep investing in yourself, and keep moving forward. God didn’t give you gifts to sit idle. Stay focused, stay ready, and multiply what’s in your hands.
