Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:19-30

Matthew 25:19-30 The Account to be rendered. I. Is not the servant who had received least a type of the insignificant of the earth, of the immerse mass of those who are commonly called the proletaires the disinherited of here below? Why does Jesus show him alone to be guilty, alone justly punished, whilst an approbation without reserve is given to those who have received much, and who only have been faithful? Is it thus, then, that things go on? Should the Divine lesson have been directed to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:1-46

Shall we turn now to Matthew's gospel chapter twenty-five? In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew's gospel the disciples came to Jesus and asked Him what would be the signs that would precede the destruction of the temple, and then the signs of thy coming, and the end of the age. He had just left the scribes and the Pharisees, and told them that they would not see Him again, until they said, "blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord".And so Jesus was referring to another coming. And so... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:1-46

Matthew 25:1 . Ten virgins took their lamps to meet the bridegroom. Homer names the like custom among the Greeks, of the bridegroom being preseded by virgins bearing lighted torches. The virgins represent the visible church, which make a profession of the faith, that Christ the bridegroom will come from heaven. Matthew 25:2 . Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. This idea represents half the christian world as shut out of heaven for want of grace. Matthew 25:4 . The wise... read more

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. Ver. 29. But from him that hath not shall be, &c. ] See Trapp on " Mat 13:12 " where the like is spoken, but with this difference. There our Saviour speaketh of proud men, such as arrogate to themselves that they have not; here of the idle and evil persons, such as improve and employ not that which they have; the rust of whose worth shall... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 25:30

30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Ver. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant ] Αχρειος , useless. That had his soul for salt only, to keep his body from putrefying, that worthless, sapless, useless man, that is no more missed when gone than the parings of one’s nails, that never did good among his people, Ezekiel 18:18 , but lived wickedly, and therefore died wickedly. Away with such a fellow, saith Christ, from off... read more
