One of the most misunderstood parables of Jesus is that of the ten minas. It has caused generations of Christ followers, particularly here in the West, to think Jesus is primarily wanting us to be productive. Efficient. A spiritual version of "Show me the money." Instead this parable actually shows how he's looking for faithfulness and loyalty while we await his return. What difference would it make in your life if you were aiming for faithfulness to Christ rather than production for Him?
