那领二他连得的，也得着相同的赏赐—权柄和享受
给那领二他连得之奴仆的赏赐，与给那领五他连得的相同。那领二他连得的来说，他另赚了二他连得，主对他所说的，与对那领五他连得的所说的相同。虽然领二他连得之人所得的恩赐，比领五他连得之人所得的为小，但主给二人的称许和赏赐却一样。这指明主的称许和赏赐，与我们工作的大小和分量无关，但与我们是否忠信的完全使用祂的恩赐有关。那领一他连得的人，若是同样的忠信，也会得到同样的称许和赏赐。
那领一他连得的，受到责备并被惩罚
二十四节说，“随后那领一他连得的，也进前来，说，主阿，我知道你是忍心的人，没有撒种的地方要收割，没有簸散的地方要收聚。”那领一他连得的，没有为主赚得甚么利润，也来到基督在空中的审判台前。这证明他不仅得救了，还被提到空中。没有一个未得救的人能被提到空中，到基督的审判台前。
那领一他连得的说，主是忍心的人，没有撒种的地方要收割，没有簸散的地方要收聚。表面上，主在严厉的一面是忍心的，要求我们尽所能的使用祂的恩赐，为祂工作；祂的工作需要我们绝对。表面上，主的工作总是从无开始。祂似乎要求我们在一无所有的情形下为祂工作。但这不该是借口，让领一他连得的人忽略他恩赐的运用；反而该迫使他运用信心，将他的恩赐使用到极点。
二十五节说，“我就害怕，去把你的一他连得埋藏在地里；请看，你仍有你所有的。”害怕是消极的，我们应当积极并进取的使用主的恩赐。我们若是忠信的，就不会惧怕任何事。

The Lord Settling Accounts with Them – Reward or Punishment — Matt. 25:22-23
The Two-talented Ones Receiving a Reward – Authority and Enjoyment
The same reward is given to the two-talented one as to the five-talented one. When the two-talented one came and said that he had gained another two talents, the Lord said the same thing to him that he had said to the five-talented one. Although the gift given to the two-talented ones is smaller than that given to the five-talented one, the Lord’s appraisal and reward to both are the same. This indicates that the Lord’s appraisal and reward are not related to the size and quantity of our work, but to our faithfulness in using his gift to the fullest extent. The same appraisal and reward would also have been given to the one-talented one if he had been as faithful.
The One-talented Ones Receiving a Rebuke and Being Punished
Verse 24 says, “And he also who received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.” The one-talented one, who did not gain any profit for the Lord, also came to the judgment seat of Christ in the air. This proves that he is not only saved, but also raptured to the air. No unsaved person could be raptured and come to the judgment seat of Christ.
The one-talented one said that the Lord was a hard man, reaping where he did not sow and gathering where he did not scatter. Apparently the Lord is hard in his strictness, demanding that we use his gift to the fullest extent for his absolute work. It seems that the Lord’s work always begins from zero. He seemingly demands us to work for him with nothing. This should not be an excuse for the one-talented one to neglect the use of his gift. Rather, this should force him to exercise his faith to use his gift to the uttermost.
Verse 25 says, “And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth; behold, you have what is yours.” To be afraid is negative. We should rather be positive and aggressive in using the Lord’s gift. If we are faithful, we shall not be afraid of anything.
