IS THIS NEW COVENANT OR OLD?

[JohnD]

Matthew 25:14–30 (NIV84)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his property to them.
15 To one he gave five talents of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey.
16 The man who had received the five talents went at once and put his money to work and gained five more.
17 So also, the one with the two talents gained two more.
18 But the man who had received the one talent went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.
20 The man who had received the five talents brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’
21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
22 “The man with the two talents also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two talents; see, I have gained two more.’
23 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
24 “Then the man who had received the one talent came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed?
27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “ ‘Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.
29 For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Not sure what you are driving at. It sounds like those who reject the Savior both in the Old and New. Or are you referring to the gnashing of teeth part, or?

Where is outer darkness and weeping and gnashing of teeth?

And what are the "talents" he gives his servants?

I am wondering what he meant to comunicate all the time. 

Was he talking about coming back from the dead as the CHRIST and the judge of all. 

Telling the people , that he is coming back as the Lord and Judge of all, he will judge even the Jewish people, only in him is the light of God. 

Out of him is outer darkness, many they thought they were in the light, but then came the time to be told that they are not.

perhaps one of the meanings.

This is very much part of the New covenant cuz its all about what we do with the gifts God gives us, symbolised by the talents of money (a talent was a measure, usually believed to be about 75 pounds, as there are one or two who seem to be a bit confused by that). And that last part, well, that's obvious, that is all about our eternal punishment for those who continue to live for themselves ratehr than living for Christ

Wow you could make a whole sermon on this..try to keep it short..hints..recieved (acts 2v4..acts 2v38 etc((recived Holy Spirit, without which non of his Rom 8v9)talents as in abilities,see the church abilities in Corinthians is one....you have them all but as a new born again babe you grow and learn to use some better than others and are used in the church accordingly..could say more but...) one important is as Jesus said :

Lu 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor(in spirit); he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted(separated from Love of GOD etc), to preach deliverance to the captives( at the mercy((none)of the adversary), and recovering of sight to the blind(cannot see or per-sieve GOD, to set at liberty them that are bruised(sick and wounded by adversary),
Lu 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.........weep and gnash for all who do not obey the truth..and for those who know and do not freely give but hide.

more if needed.........
