Parable of the Talents

As Jesus is preparing his disciples for his coming absence, he uses this parable to call them to faithfulness and warns them against unfaithfulness until he returns. To be entrusted with the kingdom is not just a privilege it is also a responsibility and people will be held accountable to that responsibility.
