He said therefore, “A Nobleman (called Jesus Christ) went into a far country (in Heaven) to receive a Kingdom (and all its rewards, goodies, mansions and appurtenance) and then return. Calling ten of his servants (who are also his followers and disciples), he gave them ten pounds (worth of gifts and assignments), and said to them, ‘Trade with these till I come.’” – Luke 19: 12 – 13 (RSV).
Notes: words in
brackets are mine.
In the Gospels, Jesus Christ used parables to teach or convey
Kingdom truths and realities. He used parables to teach important spiritual
lessons by referring to familiar objects. What is a parable? A parable suggests
the “setting alongside” of two things in a story form so that one illustrates
the other. It is a powerful teaching method.
You, yes you, the Christian or Disciple, are you ready for
the return of the NOBLEMAN?
