Scripture Reading
Matthew 25:14-30(NIV)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Scripture Union Daily Guide – 11 September 2025 OUTLINE
The Master knew His own servants to whom He delivered His goods (Matthew 25:14). It is heart-warming to know that He knows us personally. Closer still is the fact that He knows the ability of each of His servants (Matthew 25:15).
Read Psalms 103:14. He knows our hearts and how close or far our thoughts are towards or away from Him. The question is: How much of our knowledge of Him do we practically use in our daily living and the tasks He commits to our hands? See the good examples of the servants who knew their Master as a businessman who values good returns on His investments (Matthew 25:16,17). Their knowledge of the Master motivated them to work hard to double what He entrusted into their hands. He is a great rewarder of those who diligently seek and serve Him (Matthew 25:20-23; cf. Hebrews 11:6).
The unfaithful servant had to tell a long story -excuses Matthew 25:24-25, pure laziness and wickedness (Matthew 25:26)! He is judged by his own words (Matthew 25:27). What do you learn from his end (Matthew 25:28-30)? We should realize that accountability will always be required of us for all that has been entrusted to us.
And So
The spiritual gifts given to us are to be fully utilized in building up the body of Christ. What good is it if you leave your gift unutilized?
