Well Done, Good Servant

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus told three stories about being ready. Ten young women waited for a bridegroom with their lamps. Five were wise and brought extra oil. Five were foolish and did not. When the bridegroom came at midnight, the wise ones were ready and went in to the wedding feast.

A man gave his servants money called talents. Two servants worked and doubled their money. The master said, "Well done, good and faithful servant." But one servant hid his talent in the ground. He did nothing with what he was given.

Jesus said the King will gather all nations. He will tell some people that when He was hungry, thirsty, a stranger, sick or in prison, they helped Him. They will ask, "When?" He will say that when they did it to one of the least of His brothers, they did it to Him.
