Jesus told stories about landowners who put persons in charge of his business and returning to see if they did His business. He told about an investor who put his money out to get increase and returned to check on the business. We have a job to do that has been handed to us as our Father’s business. No one else can do it for us. Some may join us in it, but in the end we will give an account ourselves on how we carried out His business. Do you yet know what it is for you? Has it yet become your reason and passion for living?
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone…After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money” (Matthew 25:14, 19 NLT).
