When you say “chosen” what do you mean by that?
The twelve were chosen and destined to reign and rule with Christ.
Brother, we know this is a parable.
What the parable is about are His servants who He gives talents to.
Please do not disregard the plain words of Jesus.
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
Matthew 25:14-15
I ask you brother, in the fear of the Lord and humility.
Please don’t change or explain away this extremely important teaching from Jesus and to whom it pertains.
Please.
