Ep 5. The Parable of The Faithful Servant

Parables of Jesus for Kids is an educational and entertaining animated series that explores the teachings of Jesus through engaging and visually appealing stories. In season 3 episode 5, "The Parable of The Faithful Servant," viewers are introduced to a master who goes on a journey and entrusts his servants with his property.

The servants are given different amounts of money according to their abilities, and the master expects them to use the money wisely and make a profit. The first servant is given five talents, the second two talents, and the third servant is only given one talent. When the master returns from his journey, he asks the servants to show him what they have done with the money he gave them.

The first servant comes forward and shows the master that he has used the five talents wisely and has made five more talents. The master is pleased with him and says, "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!" The second servant also reports that he has made two more talents, and the master is pleased with him as well.

However, the third servant comes forward and says, "Master, I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So, I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you." The master is not pleased with this and calls the servant wicked and lazy. He tells the servant that he could have at least earned some interest with the money, and orders the talent to be taken from him and given to the first servant.

The episode uses colorful and engaging animation to capture the attention of young viewers, while also delivering a powerful and timeless message about responsibility and faithfulness. The parable of the faithful servant teaches children about the importance of using their abilities and resources wisely, and not wasting their talents or burying them in the ground.
