People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 25:21
I will make thee ruler over many things. (1) Observe here that
it is God's talents that have made the ten talents. The fruitfulness of
our work depends on what God has given us. (2) In God's government,
promotion depends on fidelity. This is in a measure true, here and how;
fulfillment of duty in a lower and lesser station is rewarded by the
providence which bids us to go up higher. (3) Present duties are trials
of character; God gives the talents that he may test and see who is
worthy of a trust. (4) The trusts given here below, by our use of which
are to show ourselves capable of receiving the crown above, Jesus calls
"a few things". This is in contrast with the trusts we will enjoy in
the heavenly kingdom.
