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.

How does the parable of the unforgiving servant help to forgive as well as the difficulty in reconciliation?
Jesus told this parable, (Matthew 18.23 to 35), to the disciples after Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother. The parable shows us how forgiving our heavenly Father is. 10.000 talents is a lot by today's reckoning. If in gold, it is more than six and a half billion US dollars, and if in silver, it is 65 million US dollars. It is the sort of debt that no man could repay, (like our sins). The fellow servant owed this forgiven servant about $1.60 in our money. This parable well illustrates how easy it is to forgive our brother ($1.60 debt), when we consider how much our heavenly father has forgiven us, (many millions of dollars). The parable also shows us how we cannot mess with God and get away with it.
What are the example of spiritual values?
The Bible provides many examples of values. From a Christian perspective, values can be broken into two classes, material values and spiritual values. Material values focus totally on things like sex, food, shelter, and love of money. Spiritual values focus on ideals such as truth, love, faith, and righteousness. The Bible has many parables addressing material and spiritual values. The parable of the Rich Fool teaches us God's position on people valuing material things over the spiritual things of God. The parable of the Ten Virgins teaches us the importance of putting our spiritual beliefs and values into action. Just "talking the talk" will not fool God on what you really value in life. The parable of the Talents also teaches us to seek and act on our spiritual values. God will give increase to the diligent, but will take away from the slothful and uncommitted. See below for several examples of values from the Bible. Key Bible Verses: 1 Corinthians 2:14, Luke 12:20: Parable of the Rich Fool ..., Matthew 25:13: Parable of the Ten Virgins ... and Matthew 25:29: Parable of the Talents
