From Matthew 24 Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure.  With the parable of the Ten Virgins at the beginning of Matthew 25 Jesus warns the disciples to be ready.  In the parable of the talents Jesus shows what readiness is.  As a group the servants did well as they went from 8 talents to 15 talents but it is important to note that Jesus judged each of them individually.

In the parable of the ten virgins Jesus mentions there are five wise and five foolish.  All ten virgins are representatives of the church and we as individual Christians have to ask if we are wise or foolish.  Ultimately the wise were prepared for the Lord's return while the foolish were not ready.  Unfortunately there are many people attending church weekly who think they are ready for the Lord's return but they are in fact not ready.    Jesus instructs us to watch and be ready no matter how long it takes before His return because none of us knows the day nor the hour of His return.

Romans 15:4 says for whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the [a]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.  We can learn from the mistakes that Israel made with their discouragement and lack of trust in God.  Numbers 33 tells us Israel left Egypt in boldness but along the way they started looking at things with their eyes and not by faith.  It was their lack of trust that  caused them to wonder in the wilderness for 40 years.  People think that fear is the opposite of faith but the Bible shows that walking by sight is the opposite of faith.
Numbers 21:1-9, Numbers 13, Numbers 14, Exodus 13, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Numbers 20, Hebrews 11:1

Who is the faithful and wise servant?  Who is the evil servant?  The question we must ask ourselves is are we the faithful and wise servant or the evil servant.
