April 28 – The Parable of the Pounds (Luke 19)

Brother John preaches that Jesus’ parable of the nobleman and the servants reveals the urgency of serving Christ faithfully while He is away, because He will return and will judge every believer’s stewardship. He contrasts the faithful servants—who multiplied what the Master entrusted to them—with the fearful servant who hid his pound and was called “wicked,” warning that much is required of those to whom much is given. He emphasizes that Jesus is coming quickly, that there is no time for fear, excuses, or delay, and that the church must get on with the work of repentance, obedience, and kingdom service while it is still day.
