In the parable of the minas, the master represents Jesus, and the servants symbolize His followers. This interaction underscores the personal relationship between Christ and each believer, emphasizing accountability and reward based on individual faithfulness.<p><b>‘You shall have authority</b><br>Authority in this context refers to the responsibility and governance granted by the master. Biblically, authority is often associated with stewardship and leadership. This reflects the biblical principle that those who are faithful in small matters will be entrusted with greater responsibilities (<a href="/luke/16-10.htm">Luke 16:10</a>). It also echoes the dominion mandate given to humanity in <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>, where humans are called to rule over creation.<p><b>over five cities.’</b><br>The mention of "five cities" signifies a substantial reward and responsibility. In the historical and cultural context of the time, cities were centers of commerce, governance, and culture. The number five, while not necessarily symbolic, indicates a significant level of trust and reward. This allocation of cities can be seen as a metaphor for the eternal rewards and responsibilities believers will receive in God's kingdom, as seen in <a href="/revelation/2-26.htm">Revelation 2:26-27</a>, where faithful believers are promised authority over nations.
