What does it mean a hard man reaps where he has not sown and gathers where he has not strawed?
This reference is in the Biblical parable of the talents. Three individuals are entrusted with different amounts of money (talents) while the master is away. When he returns the one entrusted with the least amount states he feared the master because he is a hard man... The statement references a master that is above the confines of social courtesy and what others think. He seizes opportunity and does not consider whether or not it is okay. It also references delegation as his earnings are not limited to his own ability and effort. He gives the money to others to sow and expects the return. In this example the master is God, who is, of course, just and above human imposed social law. The master finds that the individual with the least has protected the money by burying it. The angry master takes the money and gives it to the man with the most to be invested. The idea is that we have been given "talents" and those with the least are still expected to do the most with it in life.
What is the meaning of the parable of the talents re?
This parable is found in Matthew chapter 15 verses 14 - 30. The parable teaches that when the Lord returns, there will be true and false servants. In the parable Christ is the master. The three servants are given responsibility according to their individual abilities.The test of their service was not how much they earned, but how hard they tried. The two faithful servants received exactly the same commendation: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." The third servant had nothing but insults and excuses for his master. He accused him of being hard and unreasonable, reaping where he had not sown, and gathering where he had not scattered seed. He excused himself on the basis that, paralyzed with fear, he buried his talent. This servant was doubtless an unbeliever.
