Matthew 25:27-30 King James Version (KJV)
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:27-30 Common English Bible (CEB)
27 In that case, you should have turned my money over to the bankers so that when I returned, you could give me what belonged to me with interest. 28 Therefore, take from him the valuable coin and give it to the one who has ten coins. 29 Those who have much will receive more, and they will have more than they need. But as for those who don’t have much, even the little bit they have will be taken away from them. 30 Now take the worthless servant and throw him outside into the darkness.’
“People there will be weeping and grinding their teeth.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
27 This servant was foolish; to invest what we are given in one person is better than us not using what we are given by the Lord for Him. God wants us to use what He has given us that are why He gives it to us.
28 The Lord took it from him so that it would not be wasted, if we don’t use what the Lord has given us He may take it away from us, there are those who will use it to serve Him and bring glory to His name.
29 If we are obedient with what we are given for Him the Lord may give us more things to serve Him with. We are not to serve Him to gain more but by being faithful to Him, He may choose to give us more.
30 This servant went to destruction because although he was a servant to the Master, he never served his Master and rejected His will for him in act of rebellion. Everyone is a servant to the Master but only those of us that accept Him as Lord and serve Him will not face judgment.
