A key theme here is stewardship. In Jewish thought (which has continued in Christian thought), God’s creation of the world makes every person a caretaker of what really belongs to God, whether created world, the spiritual gifts of individuals, or the kingdom itself, both the movement and the message. Another way to look at it is that Jesus uses a business analogy: kingdom work is an investment.
Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30
