Matthew 25:14-30The Parable of the Talents Luke 16:1-13 Parable of the Unjust Steward / Shrewd Manager / Dishonest Manager Actually I have been confused about these 2 parable recently. Thank you 黃牧師 for explaining this. Maybe I didnt get it on the first listening, will try to listen to your sermon again.
Your message is circular logical, contradictory at best! Your message is correct if your relationship with Jesus is based on the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Jesus was still preaching under the Old Gospel under the provisions of Laws. Jesus has not died yet when he delivered this message. Jesus was trying to convey to us that no one is able to meet the provisions of Laws, thus no one is able to be saved following the Laws. The New Gospel is effective only after Jesus died and resurrected. The new provision is based on the Tree of Life which is Jesus himself as he is the Life. The only way to receive this life is to simply believe that Jesus is the Messiah. A true Christian is not based on seeing his/her fruits. If it is, then you are still under the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil! A true Christian is that his/her relationship with God is based on grace only. Anything more or less is outside our relationship with God basing on the Tree of Life. I will take the Tree of Life in any day.
