It has become all too easy to think that work is from the devil. In due course the world will be over and work will be finished with. However, when we here Jesus teaching in parables that focus on money, work, and relationships, we have to wonder what the kingdom of God really is.
When the 'culmination of all things' takes place, what will remain? And what will never be seen again?
In the parable of the talents we have 4 characters. 3 servants and the king.
These servants must have worked hard to get where they are. When the king goes away for a while, the servants are entrusted with large sums of money to use in whatever way they see fit. The king's motivation is to make a profit, but also wants to have there servants go further than where they have been. This is an initiation into upper management, if you like.
If you don't like, go suck on a lemon.
The fascinating thing about this parable is the uncanny ability it has to condemn complacency. You've been given something. You either do something with it, or lose it. If you're not using is, it's obviously useless to you.
Where does that put investment banking in the kingdom of God scale?
