Matthew 25:28
"You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest."
Key Reflection
This verse illustrates the importance of using one's gifts and talents wisely and responsibly, as if in business. Jesus suggests that failing to do so is akin to squandering what was entrusted to you, even expecting a return on investment—a metaphor for spiritual stewardship and accountability.
