Bible Question: Why does the man think the Master (God) is a harsh man and why does the slave hide his Master's possessions ?

Bible Answer: At A Glance: This one percieved the master in a way the others did not, and therefore his response to the masters commission was totally different. How we perceive God will determine how we serve Him. If we recognize Him as just, faithful and prue love(as opposed to carnal) we will be diligent to serve from a heart of love. If we are operating in fear (not reverent respect but fear of punishment) our service will be unfruitful and unpleasing. Our service must be from a heart of love to be truly fruitful in the kingdom.
Secondly, we must commit to be faithful in releasing and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us producing that which we are gifted to produce.
Hope this helps.
