In Luke 19:11-27, Jesus tells the Parable of the Minas to explain how His disciples are to live between His ascension and His return. The King has departed to receive His kingdom, but He has not abandoned His people. He reigns even now and has entrusted His servants with responsibilities meant to advance His interests in the world.

This sermon examines Christ's present authority, the believer's calling to faithful stewardship, the certainty of future accountability, and the reality that one day every servant will stand before the King to give an account.

The central question is not whether Christ is King, but whether His servants are faithfully conducting His business until He comes.
