What Is the Interest Due on a Single Talent?

We all know this parable.  So let me ask you two questions.  First of all, of the three groups that we are told to consider, which of these groups best describes you?  Brethren, this calling is valuable beyond measure. More valuable than anyone outside of the body of Christ can understand or comprehend.  Do we value it as much as we should?  Which brings me to the second question, which is based on our own human nature: what is the interest due on a single talent?  If that third person had put that one talent in the bank, would you be interested if he were accepted?  My goal is not to discover what is the least we can do and still enter the Kingdom, but rather to address our human tendency to want to do less than we are capable of doing.
