STEWARDSHIP

I find an Irony in the lines of Matthew 25, verse 14 to verse 30 precisely. *The servant with the lowest task is the one who feels cheated.* I'm talking about the servant with the 1000 Dollars, not the one with the 5,000 Dollars or 2000 Dollars.

 _The athlete with the lightest load is complaining_ . _The banker with the least target is murmuring_ . Hello?

" _To whom much is given, much is expected_ ." To whom not much is not given, much is not expected. There is an advantage. The man with the least targets not only has the opportunity to achieve his in record time, but he also has the platform to outdo the target, exceed expectation and win the attention of his boss. It is a matter of perspective.

He who has the lightest load ought to be the one with the fastest pace. If you ask me, the servant in our text had more time on his side. What he received was less responsibilities for the same duration his  colleagues had. Less tasks, same time. Wasn't he the  favoured? And Shouldn't he achieve more?

But no! We rather  often find that those with the lowest " _Plates_ " are yet those with the slowest pace. And it is unfortunate and painful that the situation is the same within the Divine Kingdom _(for the illustration in our text is about the Kingdom of God)._ For me it is very painful.

Those who have the least responsibilities are the ones who most murmur. They feel cheated. They pick the wrong perspectives, and become busy-bodies. They bury the gift given by the ruler of the kingdom. They do not know that in God's Kingdom everyone has an advantage. They do not realize that in God's Kingdom every positioning has an advantage. And no one is disadvantaged.
