What does God require in a servant? That he be found faithful. This parable is about three servants who were each given talents according to their abilities. Eventually, the Master returned to have the servants give an account as to what they did with what was entrusted into their care. Two reported that they increased their master's talents, and the third went out and hid his master’s money. The first two were rewarded, and the third servant was judged. There is coming a day when God will audit what He has placed into our care.
