Luke 19:11 KJV
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Jesus spake a parable because some thought the kingdom would immediately come. Even though Jesus gave them this parable, still, in Acts 1 they asked Him if He would restore the kingdom at that time. They just did not get it. They were so focused on the kingdom of God come immediately that they had difficulty seeing the message Jesus wanted them to get.
I wonder how many times we completely misunderstand what is the Lord’s true will? So often we have our preconceived ideas of God's plan and our idea so clouds our understanding of God's Word that we cannot see what God is doing through what we have predetermined is God's plan.
I want to seek the Lord's help to wash away the sludge that clouds my vision of God's truth so I can see clearly what is the will and plan of God.
