Parable of Ten Mina…

Jesus wants us to inquire, to question, to search. This only the first half of the parable. Read on…

Luke 19:11-13
The Parable of the Ten Minas
11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

Many of you know this parable, or teaching directly from Jesus Christ. If so, choose one word or phrase and meditate on it. Mine would be “Until I come back.” If you have never read the parable before but know Jesus personally, chances are you could finish this parable. Or at least know that He will return. This is the Holy Spirit talking to you.

He sparks inquiry. The Holy Spirit wants you to search. The question should come to like, “What would Jesus do?” Also, “What did Jesus do?” Read it.

Now let’s make this relevant to your situation right now. Say you attend a church that you attend because your parents attended, or because that’s all you know. The Holy Spirit will talk to you if you ask. If you inquire.  If you search. The foundation is your relationship with the Holy Spirit, a vital part of the triune God.

Amen!
