Five of them failed to anticipate any problems and thus missed the great event. Goodness involves taking the long view, being prepared for the unexpected situations that life thrusts on us. Next he told of a rich man who was going away for a long time. He entrusted some of his wealth to three servants to use in his absence. They were expected to give account of how they had used the money in investments when the rich man returned.
Goodness involves sustained effort, even when NO ONE is looking at our work.
Finally, Jesus told of the judgement where God divides the faithful from those who are forever lost. He points to the consistent goodness that God commends. Goodness involves caring compassion in a world full of human need. The goodness of the servants that is commended is not the great and heroic things that they did. It is not the singular moments that stand out in history that find mention at the judgement.
