The Parable of the Gold Coins (end)

Luke 19:21-27  (the servant who kept his master's gold coin hidden in a handkerchief continues telling his master) " 'I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man.  You take what is not yours and reap what you did not plant.'  He said to him, 'You bad servant!  I will use your own words to condemn you! You know that I am a hard man, taking what is not mine and reaping what I have not planted.  Well, then, why didn't you put my money in the bank?  Then I would have received it back with interest when I returned.'  Then he said to those who were standing there, 'Take the gold coin away from him and give it to the servant who has ten coins.' But they said to him, 'Sir, he already has ten coins!' 'I tell you,' he replied, 'that to every person who has something, even more will be given; but the person who has nothing, even that little that he has will be taken away from him.  Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them in my presence!' "

From Blogger:  For the life of me, I cannot decipher this parable.  Does anyone else know what it means? Please share if you do.  God bless.
