Best Answer

Some Christians say this parable is about what a Christian does with the gospel. Its importance to Christians is that a Christian should be a good steward of the gospel.

However I think this parable is not primarily about Christians.

The first interpretation of this parable is probably: the three servants are Israelites living during the time between Christ's first and second coming to earth. This parable is connected to the previous parable (verses 1-13) by the word 'for'. The parable has to do with the judgment of unsaved Israel at the time of Christ's second coming.

Jesus said He came to the lost sheep of Israel and so most of His parables are about Israel not the church.

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
