| “11 As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.” – Luke 19:11
My daughter got her driver’s license this week. If you can remember when you got your license, it was an incredible moment that afforded a lot more freedom. When I was 16 years old, my driver’s license allowed me to expand my social life and build new memories. As a parent of a new driver, I am excited for her, but there is a weight on my wife’s and my shoulders as she endeavors on this new stage of life. What helps (besides praying a lot!) is that she has done a really great job practicing and preparing for this moment to pass her driver’s test. She put in the hours of driving and read what she needed to, to help her gain the knowledge so that she could experience the freedom driving provides.
In our Kingdom Code parable this week, we will see how Jesus is teaching about preparing for the next most important event in history… His return as King! I believe Luke 19:11-27 and the Parable of the Ten Minas will help us know how to prepare, and what Jesus is expecting of us as we wait on His return. I am thankful for this passage as it directs my mind and heart toward living with a kingdom mission.
