In this passage in Matthew 25, we look at taking action. Jesus shares a parable demonstrating being “doers” of the Word rather than mere “hearers”. We get to see how different servants in this story are faced with choices after their master gives them instructions.

The Pharisees and Sadducees showed an unloving nature. Jesus warned these religious leaders against making so much of themselves that they were blind to their own need for a Savior.

The Pharisees and Sadducees had heard and witnessed so much about Jesus but were determined to be the ones to put Him in His place. They sought to do so by means of their own worldly wisdom, however, they weren't able to because their wisdom was flawed.
