Matthew 25:24
_ _ Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man — harsh. The word in Luke (Luke 19:21) is “austere.”
_ _ reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed — The sense is obvious: “I knew thou wast one whom it was impossible to serve, one whom nothing would please: exacting what was impracticable, and dissatisfied with what was attainable.” Thus do men secretly think of God as a hard Master, and virtually throw on Him the blame of their fruitlessness. |
Matthew 25:24
I knew thou art a hard man — No. Thou knowest him not. He never knew God, who thinks him a hard master. Reaping where thou hast not sown — That is, requiring more of us than thou hast given us power to perform. So does every obstinate sinner, in one kind or other, lay the blame of his own sins on God. |
- he which:
- Our Lord placed the example of negligence in him to whom the least was committed, probably to "intimate" says Doddridge, "that we are accountable for the smallest advantage with which we are entrusted; but it cannot imply that they who have received much will ordinarily pass their account best; for it is too plain, in fact, that most of those whose dignity, wealth, and genius give them the greatest opportunities of service, seem to forget that they have any Master in heaven to serve, or any future reckoning to expect; and many render themselves much more criminal than this wicked and slothful servant who hid his talents in the earth."
