In today’s episode we examine the Parable of the Talents and how it is often misunderstood. While Jesus refers to money in the parable, money is actually used as a metaphor for mercy. Jesus is instructing us to use the mercy he has given us and to spread that mercy to others. In doing so, he will provide us with even greater mercy. But to those who squander that mercy they have been given by Christ, and keep it to themselves, they will have that mercy taken from them, unto the resurrection of condemnation. For this is the basis of the final judgement: did you or did you not show mercy? For the Kingdom of God is a kingdom of mercy.
