0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:19.2	Back to Matthew chapter 25. I'm not going to read the text because we've
0:23.6	already read it, but the five talent guy, what he does is he immediately goes and does with the property
0:31.9	what he thinks his master would want him to do with the property. He doubles the money. And then he comes to the master and he says, see, hear what is yours.
0:40.9	You gave me the five talents and I went and risk it all and I made five talents more.
0:46.2	And then what he is going to receive from the master is he is going to receive this blessing.
0:50.6	And the blessing is this well done good and faithful servant.
0:53.5	But what I really want to
0:54.4	pay attention to here, I guess I will read some. After he says, well done, good and faithful
0:59.6	servant, you have been faithful over a little. I will set you over much, enter into the joy of your
1:04.8	master. Then the next verse, verse 22 says, and he also who had received the two talents came forward saying,
1:12.6	master, you delivered to me two talents. Here, I have made two talents more. Now, here's what I want
1:20.3	you to see. First of all, the five talent guy and the two talent guy, they both first start with an attitude of gratitude.
1:29.2	They don't start with, look what I have done for you.
1:32.5	What they start with, the first thing out of their mouth is, look what you did for me.
1:37.9	God, master, I took what you gave me.
1:40.7	You gave me five talents.
1:42.4	I don't think I deserved it.
1:43.6	I don't know what I did to earn it. You gave me two talents. I'm not sure why you chose me. You gave me five talents. I don't think I deserved it. I don't know what I did to earn it.
1:45.3	You gave me two talents. I'm not sure why you chose me, but you chose me. And I took what you
1:51.0	gave to me and look here. And it doesn't mean like look here. It means more like, here you go.
1:56.4	I have doubled this money for you. Now, I actually think one of the key heroes in this parable in this story is the two-talent guy.
