SUMMARY: The parable of the unprofitable servants, like the parable of the unforgiving servant, is accompanied by an exhortation about forgiveness towards others, and carries the theme that our indebtedness to God is so great it can never be satisfied by anything we have to offer Him.
The passage is a progression of thought: (I) Sin is Present, vv. 1-4, but (II) Faith Overcomes, vv. 5-6; however, lest any man should boast, (III) Service must be Self-Effacing, vv. 7-10.
I. SIN IS PRESENT, vv. 1-4. A. The Seriousness of the Warning. B. The Nature of the Warning.
II. FAITH OVERCOMES, vv. 5-6. A. Faith Brings Life Out of Death. B. Faith Accomplishes the Impossible.
III. SERVICE IS SELF-EFFACING, vv. 7-10. A. The Meaning of the Parable. B. The Spiritual Application of the Parable.
