The rulers seek to destroy him, but fear the people. ‘Master,’ they said, The term "Master" reflects a position of authority and respect. In the context of the parable, it signifies the relationship between the servants and the nobleman, who represents Jesus. This mirrors the cultural norms of the time, where servants were expected to show deference to their lords. The use of "Master" also connects to other parables where Jesus is depicted as a figure of authority, such as the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30. ‘he already has ten!’ Persons / Places / Events 1. The MasterRepresents Jesus Christ, who is the central figure in the parable of the ten minas. He is the one who entrusts his servants with resources and expects them to be fruitful. 2. The Servants Symbolize believers who are entrusted with gifts, talents, and responsibilities. Their faithfulness in stewardship is tested by the master. 3. The Ten Minas A unit of currency used in the parable to represent the resources and opportunities given by God to His people. 4. The Citizens Represent those who reject the authority of the master, paralleling those who reject Christ's lordship. 5. The Event The parable of the ten minas, which is a teaching moment where Jesus illustrates the importance of faithful stewardship and the consequences of neglect. Teaching Points Faithful StewardshipBelievers are called to be faithful with the resources and opportunities God has given them. This includes spiritual gifts, time, and material possessions. Accountability to God Every believer will be held accountable for how they have used what God has entrusted to them. This should motivate us to live purposefully and diligently. God's Generosity and Justice The parable illustrates both the generosity of God in giving resources and His justice in rewarding or disciplining based on our stewardship. Rejecting Christ's Authority The citizens who reject the master’s authority serve as a warning against rejecting Christ. Acceptance of His lordship is crucial for eternal reward. Eternal Perspective The parable encourages believers to focus on eternal rewards rather than temporary gains, reminding us that our actions have eternal consequences.(25) And they said unto him, Lord . . .--The touch of wonder, perhaps of indignation, is peculiar to St. Luke. It can scarcely be thought of as simply an element of dramatic vividness. It foreshadows the feelings with which men have in all ages looked on those greater than themselves. They grudge the influence and opportunities for good which are transferred from those who have not used them to those that will. May we not think of some such feeling as working among those members of the Church of the Circumcision, who did not hold out to Paul and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship (Galatians 2:9)? When Galatia received the gospel from one who had already planted churches far and wide, St. Luke may well have seen in it an illustration of the pound taken from the slothful servant and given to him that had ten.
