In today’s society we are told to save as much as possible, we are told that we will never know what will happen in life, when we will need it, and any leftovers can be passed down to our loved ones. In the end the master insinuates that the slaves that invested will be given more and the slave that hid his talent will be severely punished. Is that what God thinks of those that saves their money and their spiritual gifts? Are we being so selfish where God wants to kick us out like he did with his slave? I think the overall point of this parable is that God doesn’t want us to waste our resources that he has given us when we can be using them and investing into things in his kingdom that could be furthering his plan and the message of the gospel. It paints the third slave as letting all his resources go to waste when they can be multiplying. So should we play it safe or should we take the risk and try to multiply our talents that God has given
