John Trapp on Matthew 25:14

Verse 14. And delivered unto them his goods] There is scarce any man but hath some one thing or other in him, that is excellent and extraordinary: some speciall talent to trade with, some hony to bring to the common hive, have he but an heart to it. Suacui que dos est. Let every man according to his severall ability, improve what he hath to the common benefit. Freely he hath received, freely let him give: ability he hath none but from God; who yet, for our encouragement, is pleased to call that ours, that is his own work in us.
