The Minas Made Simple

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

"Occupy till I come." This Scripture-first guide walks through the parable of the minas in Luke 19:11-27: the nobleman who went into a far country to receive a kingdom, the ten servants each entrusted with a mina, the command to trade, and the reckoning that followed — the faithful servant with ten pounds and ten cities, the second with five pounds and five cities, the wicked servant who buried his mina in a napkin, and the rebellious citizens who said, "We will not have this man to reign over us." Every chapter points to Jesus Christ, the nobleman Himself: Lord and Savior, Son of God and Son of Man, who ascended to the Father's right hand and will return in glory. Given. Traded. Judged.
