Governance, talents and religion
And he that had received two talents came, and said, Lord, thou hast delivered unto me two talents. Here are two more I will make. ‘ The master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! Since you have been faithful in administering so little, I will entrust you with much more. Come join in my joy! ‘
Finally he came to the one who had received a talent, and said, ‘Lord, I know that you are a stern man, for you reap where you have not planted and reap where you have not sown. So I was scared and hid your talent on the ground. Here you have what belongs to you. ‘
The master replied, ‘Evil and lazy servant! Did you know that I harvest where I did not plant and reap where I did not sow? So, “you should have deposited my money in the bank, so that when I returned I would receive with interest what belongs to me.”
It seems a perverse logic, even financial, but it is not, in order not to bury talents, it is necessary to make “surrender” what one has, to apply it to be an economy of multiplication of the loaves and of overcoming misery, of course we all know , there are people who interpret this parable for the enrichment of a few, is not what is said.
