<p>25:28&nbsp;<em>So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents-&nbsp;</em>The faithful will have enough self-knowledge to be able to say: 'You gave me these basic doctrines and these characteristics to develop with them, and I can now present you with this...'. That part of the character and mind of&nbsp;Christ which was given to the unfaithful servant to develop is taken away and given to the faithful.&nbsp; The unfaithful receive the riches of Christ but do nothing with them; they don't let them impact their character. &nbsp;</p><p>The man having ten talents as his ownis in sharp contrast with the way the one talent man speaks of how the talent is not his but the Lord&rsquo;s: &ldquo;Here You have what is Yours&rdquo; (:25). The Lord is making the point that the faithful will now personally own the talents they were first given, plus they will be allowed to keep for their personal, eternal possession what talents they made during the trading of this life. The progress achieved in this life will be kept eternally. Yet words like &lsquo;achievement&rsquo; are almost dirty words in the vocabulary of grace which some insist on. The Lord&rsquo;s teaching here must be given its due weight.</p>
