Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 25:29

"For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away." — Matthew 25:29 (ASV)

But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

If you want an instance of taking away from a man what he does not have, you may have seen it sometimes in the case of a person without any education or knowledge, who is quite content to remain in that condition. But, suddenly, he is introduced into learned society; he hears what educated people have to say, and he exclaims, "What a fool I am!" What he thought he had, though he never had it, suddenly leaves him.
