Missionary Nate Schrimp shares insights on the Parable of the Talents. 

Everyone of us needs to know that we are loved, accepted and valued. These are the ingredients that make up "the Blessing." We are called by God to give the Blessing to others, but in order to do that we need to recieve it ourselves.   

John 21 records the third time Jesus appeared to the Disciples after the Resurrection. Jesus told Peter to feed His sheep and challenged Peter to follow Him even if it meant to an eventual martyrdom. 

Jesus rises from the dead, appears to His disciples, and announces a blessing for those who weren't there to see Him in His resurrected body but yet believe. 

John was an eyewitness to the events that took place on the day Christ died, including being an eyewitness to all that happened when Christ hung on the Cross. It was John who heard Jesus say with His last breath "It is finished." 

Jesus is arrested in the Garden, tried, and then rejected by the crowds. In one sense we are all like Barabbas in that we the guilty have been set free while the innocent Son of God was condemned. 

John records for us this remarkable prayer of Jesus where He prayed that we might be one. In one sense this prayer has already been answered, but in another sense we must be the answer to His prayer today.
