Commentary on Matthew 25:28

Theological / Devotional

Take therefore. The reward for faithful service was an opportunity to render greater service (see on v. 21). The penalty for failure to serve was the loss of further opportunity to serve. Opportunities neglected are soon lost. For further comment see on Luke 19:24; cf. COL 364.

Give it. The opportunities and tasks one man refuses are given to another who will take advantage of them and make the most of them. For the principle here involved see on Luke 19:24, 25.
