ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Matthew 25

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a story about three people who were preparing for a big party. The first person was given five bags of coins and the second person was given two bags of coins. The third person wasn't given any coins at all. Jesus was teaching that it's important to use what you have been given and share it with others. He said that the first two people did a good job, because they took their bags of coins and made even more coins with them. The third person didn't get to make any more coins because they were given nothing. Jesus was teaching us that we should be sharing what we have with others because it can help make the world a better place.
