sower lost sheep (do this one) unforgiving servant (do this one) workers in the vineyard talents (do this one)
explain lost sheep
shepherd = god
sheep = people faithful to god
lost sheep = sinner
Sinner is lost from god like sheep is lost. God or jesus is a shepherd who will find his sinner and sheep.
explain unforgiving servant
Master = God
servant owing 10,000 talents = sinner against god
master giving time to repay debt = god forgiving sinner
servant owing 100 denari to first servant = brother sinning against brother
God always forgives those who sin against him. However, men do not forgive those who wrong them. The lesson is that we should always forgive those who wrong us no matter how severe the sin.
explain the talents
master giving talents to servants = god giving us life and our gifts
two servants who doubled talents = humans who make use of gifts and do good in life
servant who buried talent = humans who do not use their gifts and do no good in life
When we are born, God gives us life, talents, and gifts. As humans, we should make use of those god given gifts and life a meaningful life full of good. However, those who do not make use of their gifts have wasted their life and will be damned to hell.
