Until our Lord comes back

Engage in business until I come back. (Luke 19:13)

Those were the words of the master in Jesus’ parable.

But those are Jesus’ words to us.

What business are we to engage in? Our own? No, we are to engage in our Lord’s business.

What’s our Lord’s business?

We see it in verse 10.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost. (10)

There are so many people of whom Jesus would say,

If you knew this day what would bring peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. (42)

So many people in this age hate Jesus and say of him,

We don’t want this man to rule over us. (14)

But as our Lord’s ambassadors, we are to engage in his business pleading with people,

Be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

God has committed the message of reconciliation to us. (2 Corinthians 5:19)

So until our Lord returns, let us not be careful not to simply engage in our own business, but let us also go about doing our Lord’s business as well.
