In Luke 19:11-27, Jesus tells a story (Parable of Ten Minas) that His hearers would have related to. This is very similar of what really happened with one of the Herods going to Caesar. Those who grew the kingdom for the king were handsomely rewarded for their efforts. Those that did nothing were punished - thy lost their life.
God has given all people natural abilities and provided them with blessings here on earth - to varying degrees. He expects everyone of us to "invest" our own personal assets to grow God's kingdom here on earth. For those that do, the rewards will be to rule with Christ in the Millennium (most likely). For those that don't will be rebuke and great loss.
With whatever God has given you, what are you spending it on? Can you expect a reward or loss?
