As exile Christ-followers on Planet Earth, we should be living our lives with Christ as our sovereign, loyal to him as our king, managing well our resources for His kingdom, knowing we will be accountable some day. God expects growth, but how and what kind of growth? God will give us rewards for our growth. How does that work? Finally serving Christ as king takes courage. How do we not flounder with fear? We attempt to answer these questions as we continue our study of the Parable of the Minas in Luke 19:11-27.
