Bible Note: Hi Azure, Yes, you could put it that way. Jesus' emphasis is on the fact that because he saw his Lord as a hard taskmaster he did nothing with what the Lord had given him. He saw his Lord as fearsome and unresponsive. Many sadly do see God like that, and therefore do not respond to Him. But the emphasis is not so much on that as on the fact that he did nothing, when he should have done something. We are all given gifts of one kind or another (see for example Romans 12.6-13) and sometimes it is the one with the least important gift like this man who hides it away rather than using it. Jesus concern was that all should use their gifts to the glory of God, even those who think themselves unimportant. All can give a cup of cold water in His Name. His point is that not to do anything is unforgiveable. Best wishes Jonp |
