The second in a series of parables Jesus used to teach about the Second Coming. His servants/disciples need to be faithful and use what they have been given for the Kingdom of God.

Jesus told this parable which would have been easily understood, to teach about readiness for the Second Coming.

Jesus gives more detail about what his Second Coming will entail - but not the timing. He uses a parable to encourage disciples to be ready for his return at all times.

Jesus teaches his disciples to be aware of not causing others to stumble, to use the little faith they have to move obstacles to the growth of the Kingdom and to be humble as servants of God.

This is the third in the series of parables. The sinners, Jewish authorities and God, the Father are all present. These people are listening. God welcomes all who repent and there is joy.

Jesus tells two parables to teach about discipleship. He shows the need to be watchful and faithful.

Jesus ends his teaching on church community with a dramatic parable to teach the need to forgive - from the heart.
