In Luke 19:11-27 Jesus tells the parable in which a nobleman went to receive a kingdom in a far country. He gave money to several servants with instructions to do his business while he was away. When he returned after receiving his kingdom, he had the servants report on how much they had gained by trading. Those who made gains were rewarded while those who did not do his business well were not, and even were punished. Jesus tells this to remind his followers that they are expected to be about his business when he is gone, so that when he returns they will have made gains for his kingdom. As his followers, we must do his business, knowing that he will return and we will be judged at that time. Even as a child, Jesus remained in Jerusalem being "about his Father's business" when Mary and Joseph thought he had left Jerusalem with them. Jesus Christ has expectations for his followers. We must "do his business" until he returns.
