Introduction
Jesus on His way to Jerusalem.
Speaking about first/last, greatest/least, He’s preaching and healing.
and
: Jesus in Jericho.
Meets Zacchaeus, salvation has come to this house.
Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
Talking with Zacchaeus about salvation and Z turning around his management of money.
Jesus gives a parable about money and faithfulness.
Crowd listening, nearing Jerusalem, thought the Kingdom would appear immediately.
Jesus directly told Parable of 10 Minas or 10 Servants.
Jesus also told the parable in of the Workers who were all paid the same.
Jesus is winding down His ministry of announcing the Kingdom.
These and our upcoming parables are Jesus’ final teaching before the cross.
Increasingly focused on the end.
Harvest.
Reward.
Punishment.
When the Kingdom comes…
Give More to the One Who Has
Give more to the one who has
Summarize vv.1-10 Story of Zacchaeus – faithful repentance, salvation
v.11 While they were listening – because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
So, to help them understand Kingdom is near but not yet.

Story similar to that of Archelaus
Gives 10 servants 1 mina each – told to invest, put it to work.
1 mina = 100 drachma – 100 days wages 3-4 months.
Each one given the same – what do they do with it?
Delegation sent to try to stop him, but he becomes king, returns.
Calls the servants
v.16 Earned 10 more
v.17 Well done my good servant.
Given 10 cities. Rewarded based on production and faithfulness.
v.18 earned 5 more – given 5 cities.
vv.20-21 did not invest mina.
Afraid of you hard man.
Basically saying – you get rich from other people’s hard work.
v.22 judged by his own words = attitude from the heart.
Wicked servant will see again soon
Why not at least store in bank to earn interest???
v.24 take it away, give to the one with 10 = to the faithful
v.25 some complained
Even what they have will be taken away = nothing means nothing to show for investment.
Point = our current possessions will soon be gone, invest in the Kingdom by faithful obedience.
v.27 harsh.
We’ll come back to this concept in our third parable.
Then Jesus went into Jerusalem.
Stayed with friends in Bethany
Entering the Kingdom before you
: Jesus enters Jerusalem
Palm Sunday – Journey to the Cross talked about each day Jesus taught in the temple.
Summarize Establishing Authority
Chief priests and elders = religious and practical oversight – by what authority
v.24 Jesus turns it around – Rabbi method of teaching.
Challenge and answer.
Answer given for John same as for Jesus.
Leaders afraid to say, so Jesus also doesn’t need to answer – assumption that John’s authority from God so Jesus also claiming God’s authority.
Continues thought in three parables – not only show authority but show their disobedience.
Read
v.28 What do you think?
Again putting the question back on them to answer.
2 sons – one said no, one said yes.
The one who said no then did go to the field.
But the yes did not.
v.29 changed his mind = v.32 repent.
Does not mean confess or ask forgiveness.
Change your mind – turn away from that thing and toward something else.
(show in 3 pieces a, b, c)
v.31b Which son did what the father wanted?
They gave the answer – the first.
Recognized true obedience.
Sinners before self-righteous = instead of
Sinners before self-righteous = instead of
v.32 very open judgment, yet not harsh.
The seemingly good son rejects the Father.
Israel.
Other son is Gentile or others.
Didn’t listen to John.
Didn’t repent even after seeing sinners believe John.
Example – drunk man on steps enter Kingdom before pastor because preach but not live vs. believe and transformed
Warning for all of us – receive, believe, live
Jesus isn’t finished.
Second parable
A people who will produce Kingdom fruit
Read
Summarize – landowner plants vineyard and rents it out, comes back for harvest.
Picture of Father.
Gone for years.
Sent prophets.
Finally sent son.
v.40 what will owner do with the tenants?
Wretches to wretched end – or miserable death – or completely destroy
Remember the first parable.
V.27 kill them in front of me.
Realize – God’s judgment and destruction is for satan and his demons.
Hell is the end result for their rebellion.
But those who do not identify with the Father are already identified with satan by sin and will be destroyed along with him.
Bad tenants destroyed, vineyard given to others who will give him the fruit produced.
They recognize the natural end in a natural story.
