Nurturing Biblical Understanding
Based on: John 1:1-14
Did you ever wake up in during the night thinking about something you did that hurt someone or thinking about something you should have done, but didn’t? I have. The nagging reminder that I have sinned keeps me awake until I can push those thoughts far enough from consciousness to allow my mind to be at ease again.
Based on: John 1:1-14
Multiplying minas. That’s what Jesus is talking about, isn’t it? It’s about multiplying minas and a mina is a sum of money – about $15,000. So, someone gives you a sum of money and you work with it and turn it into more money! But Jesus isn’t talking just about money, as we will see later. Just like the more familiar parable of the talents that Jesus told at another time, Jesus uses money to represent greater treasures.
