Jesus Comes Back to Reckon with Us for the Gifts He Entrusted Us for the Good of Mankind ㅡ

“For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.” (Matthew 25:14,19)

To every man is committed individual gifts, termed talents.
God has not restricted the bestowal of His talents to a favored few. To every one is committed some special endowment, for which he will be held responsible by the Lord. Time, reason, means, strength, mental powers, tenderness of heart—all are gifts from God, entrusted to be used in the great work of blessing humanity.
 Some apparently have but few talents, but by diligent trading on their Lord’s goods their endowments will be greatly increased....
 The Lord is watching every one to see whether he will use his talents wisely and unselfishly, or whether he will seek his own advancement. The talents are distributed to every man according to his several ability, that he may add to them by wise investment. Each one must give an account to the Master for his own actions.
(Matthew 25:14,19 EGW Commentary)
