Matthew 25:
29 For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance;
but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables?
11 He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever
does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they
do not hear, nor do they understand.
The disciples were always seeking explanations for the parables themselves. Therefore, they were
not chosen because of some special ability to comprehend these teachings. They, like us, would need
the Holy Spirit to guide them into all Truth. To access the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, we
must know Him, His Voice and ask. Not rely on our own abilities, but receive from heaven what we need
to be an active part of the body. I have come to realize that it is not given for me to know everything,
because my sufficiency is not of myself, but in being a part of the body of Christ. Others have a gift,
a word of knowledge, wisdom, or understanding for me. We are partakers of the gift, of the benefit.
The unprofitable servant had a small gift, but he neglected to use it, and lost it.
