الوزنات والمواهب/ مَن كانَ له شَيء، يُعطى فيَفيض. ومَن لَيسَ له شيء، يُنتَزَعُ مِنهُ حتَّى الَّذي له الياس بجاني/22 كانون الثاني/17
إن الله الذي هو أب رحوم ومحب وعال، هو أب لكل البشر على مختلف مواطنهم وألوان جلدهم. إن الأب الذي هو الله خلق الإنسان على صورت ومثاله وقال له جسدك هيكلي وهو مقدس فإياك أن تدنسه. وأعطى الأب هذا كل من أولاده البشر مواهب وقدرات وإمكانيات وعطايا ووزنات مختلفة وبالتالي كل إنسان في هذا الأمر مختلف عن غيره . الإنسان هو وكيل على ما أعطي له من وزنات دون مقابل وعليه أن يستعمل ما أعطي بكرم وتعب وجهد لمنفعة الغير فما أعطي له مجاناً عليه أن يعطيها مجاناً. ومهم جداً أن يعرف الإنسان ما هي قدراته وأن لا يحسد غيره على ما ليس عنده فلو شاء الله لكان أعطاه ما عند غيره ولكنه لم يشأ. كل البشر هم أعضاء في جسد الله، وبالتالي كل عضو هو بأهميته كباقي الأعضاء دون النظر لكبره أو لدوره أو لقدراته. الجميع أعضاء في جسد واحد وكل ما يصيب أي عضو يصيب باقي الأعضاء. الإنسان عليه أن يجهد ويكد ويتعب في استعمال وزناته ومن لا يفعل يحاسب كما حاسب السيد العبد الذي خبأ وزنه ولم يستثمرها. من يدعي أنه حيادي وأن لا دور له وليس مطلوب منه مواقف محددة في كل الأمور فهو كصاحب الوزنة الواحدة سوف يدان يوم الحساب. إن من يرتكب الخطيئة ليس هو فقط من يفعل الشر، لا بل أيضاً من بإمكانه أن يفعل الخير ولا يفعله، أي يمتنع عن استعمال المواهب والوزنات التي منحها له الرب.
The Talents Parable
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told his disciples this parable: “A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one– to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately.the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money. After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them. The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ (Then) the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.’His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.’ His master said to him in reply, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter?Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten.For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’”
