Matthew 25:22
Just like the previous man, this servant gives a good and honest accounting of his activities. He was not slothful, and gained just as much as the other in that he doubled what he had. I have often thought that this is quite a testimony to the kind of effectiveness that we may have with he Lord’s help. A 100% increase is quite remarkable. Usually a 20% to 30% return on an investment is quite nice. But, 100%, that is something only a few might accomplish. Yet, it seems that the Lord is implying that His faithful servants will experience this measure of return.
