Episode Details

God, portrayed as the king in the gospel today, gives us each a set of resources to fulfill the design and purpose of our lives here on earth. His parable states that each of the ten servants is given a gold coin to do business with. All except one servant are productive and they are rewarded. This is a law in God's Universe, that is, that when follows the design of God regarding His gifts to us, then we are rewarded. If we not do anything and waste His gift--in this parable, this is symbolized by the gold coin--then that which we have, namely the gold coin, will be removed from him. This is then given to the one who did more with his coin. Our Lord extracts this other law in His universe. That is that when we do well to be productive, then we receive more responsibilities. The unproductive servants simply lose the gifts they were given. If we do not use those gifts, then they go to waste. Thus, their gifts are removed from them.
