They Thought


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.

The disciples had just heard Jesus tell Zacchaeus "This day salvation is come to this house." Apparently they took that as a sign of a physical salvation and not an eternal one.

We are constantly prone to the same error.
  • We translate eternal things into temporal things
  • We look for earthly parallels to spiritual promises and then
  • We get upset at God when our expectations are deflated
Keep your eyes on eternity.
