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.
