Parables: Small Stories, Big Ideas - Audio
Today we will be looking at the parable of the Talents.
Although "talents" in the context of the parable refers to
money it was used by Jesus as a symbol of our faith and
the gifts or "talents" that he has blessed us with. The
essence of Christ's teaching is simple, "if you don't use it,
you lose it". As true as that is in learning a new language
or in playing a musical instrument or in
keeping physically fit, it is also true in our
spiritual lives. Having said that, it is not
so much about the the hard work of
practice as much as it is just "resting" in
Christ and letting him "pump us up".
