There are no bystanders in Jesus’ Kingdom. His parable makes this pretty clear. There is also an interesting truth in the statement made by the servant who did nothing with his investment: he was afraid of the King. So afraid he did nothing. Is this how we feel about God? Are we too overwhelmed by the idea of him to even find the place we fit in the Kingdom? If that’s how you feel, remember: even the servant who invested a little was rewarded. And lest you think that just means the second servant wasn’t as good as the first, Jesus also defines giving as servanthood. It’s not a question of becoming more, but of becoming less.
