Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 25:24

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

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 ( :- ) 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-25" class="com-number"
