An Advent reflection by Artice Ledbetter published on November 21, 2023, for st-pauls-salem.

Key Themes

• Parable of the Talents: Focuses on Matthew's story of three servants trusted with talents to invest for their master (representing God).
• Assessment of Ability: Unlike Luke's similar account, Matthew highlights that talents are distributed according to the master's assessment of each servant's ability (giving five, two, and one talents).
