2 Corinthians 4:16 Living Bible (TLB)
16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our inner strength in the Lord is growing every day.
In "Never Give Up" - Part 1 I explained in some detail why I think servant #3 refused to obey the Master. I think this part of the Parable of the Talents is a warning to the Church. In my humble opinion, this is a warning because Jesus does not want us to become overwhelmed by the cares of this world. He does not want us to be discouraged, disappointed, or afraid because of our circumstances. He expects us to trust in Him no matter how bad things seem.
Years ago I heard that a friend of mine had skin cancer on his are in it spread to other parts of his body. I heard that as this man lay dying on his hospital bed shook his hand toward heaven and cursed God because he blamed God for his suffering. When I heard this it broke my heart to think this friend did this.
To me, Jesus is telling us to "Never Give Up" no matter how bad things look because Jesus expects us to overcome the temptation to give up. Check these the following links:

It doesn't matter whether your calling in Christ Jesus is to be servant #1, 2, or 3 you still have free will and therefore are subject to the ultimate failure and this is to give up.
Jesus has a message for you today, "NEVER GIVE UP"! "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Revelation 3:21
