Care for what God entrusts to you
A home, a friendship, a talent and a position of responsibility are places where care can grow. We can mistake responsibility for the right to control everything. Jesus calls his listeners to a different response: receive God’s gifts and bear fruit. Notice one place where another person depends on your reliability. Offer care there without demanding praise. This parable is a call to examine our own lives; it is never a reason to blame Jewish people collectively.
