Why do you suppose it is that Jesus singled out the one‑talent man who failed?

 

Don’t you think it was probably because most of us fall into that category? Most of us can identify with him. I don’t think very many of us are five‑talent people. Most of us have one gift—something we can do well, or maybe two.

 

And when we look at this one‑talent man and see him fail, perhaps there are some lessons we can learn by identifying with him.

 

I want to concentrate on this man who failed, consider some of the reasons why average people like him fail, and maybe turn it around positively—learning some lessons about how we can make the most of who we are spiritually and even economically.

“Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 

Matthew 25:14-15
