This Sunday we will spend time reflecting on a popular parable of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew, the parable of the talents. A rich man entrusts his servants with a certain number of talents, which was a huge sum of money, and then asks for a reckoning for how they invested it. A parable with many stewardship themes, it nevertheless has a curious wrinkle in it, which says more about us than about God. Let’s think about it this Sunday.
