Sunday November 5
(21st Sunday After Trinity)
Bible Reading: Luke 19: 11 - 27
Topic: Jesus Shall Reign Whether We
Like It Or Not
The "nobleman"
in this parable is Jesus Christ Himself and He told this parable to show the
Jewish Religious Leaders who rejected Him because He did not fit their
expectations of a conquering messiah, that their opposition was futile.
At the completion of His
earthly Ministry, He would go back to Heaven and send His Spirit to release His
gifts to His people.
While they wait for His
return, each one is expected to use his talent in the service of the Kingdom.
One day He will return to
reign in power and glory and those who rejected and pierced Him will mourn for
Him (Rev. 1: 7)
If you are a Christian,
how are you waiting for the Lord's return?
Those who faithfully use
their gifts while we wait for His return will receive the Lord's commendation,
but those who reject His rule over their lives now, will be judged and punished
for their disobedience.
On which side of this
fence are you?
There is still time to
repent, accept the rule of the Kind in your life and use His gifts to expand
His Kingdom.
Prayer
Father help me to always
remember that I am saved to use my God-given gifts to serve You rather than
build my own empire, in Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
Memory Verse Luke 19: 26
"For I say unto you,
That unto everyone which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even
that he hath shall be taken away from him."
