The purpose of this parable was to
correct the misapprehension of the
disclplea as to the Immediate estab
lishment of the kingdom. They were
on the way to Jerusalem, and the dis
ciples thought that immediately upon
their arrival therw Jesus would begin
the exercise ’of his kingdom rule.
Christ taught the disciples the reality
of bis coming and the setting up of a
real kingdom, but indicated that there
would he a long- delay after his as-,
cenaion before he would return.
I. The Absent Nobleman (v. 12).
Going away to receive a kingdom
was a common occurrence among the
Jews. Members of the Herodian fam
ily bad gone to Itoiue and secured
their appointment to rule over Pales
tine. This pictures Jesus going hack
’to God to receive his kingdom. Jesus
ascended on high to receive -from God
the Father a kingdom. He will return
when the fullness of the Gentiles he
come In. Though the time of his re
turn be unknown, and even delayed,
let no one mistake the oertainty of
his coming.
II. The Distribution of the Pounds
(v. 13). ;
These pounds represent Christ's
gifts to his servants. When Christ as
cended he gave gifts to men (Kplie-
slans 4:7-12). To each servant was
given the same amount, showing that
1° all a certain gift had been given,
and therefore all will be held respoiT--
sible for Its use. The distribution
was made hy the sovereign. The
servants did not choose as to whether
they would have a gift at all. or even
Its amount. It was also a purposeful
distribution. They were to put their
gifts to use during his absence. What
the nobleman demanded was faithful
ness.
III. The Rebellious Citizens (v. 14).
They hated him and sent messen
gers after him. notifying titan of their
refusal to be subject to him. This
pictures the unbelief of the Jews after
Christ’p ascension, and their repudi
ation of his ride. It also pictures the
unbelieving world In Its hatred and
rejecti on of (JjrisL-
IV. The Accounting (vv. 15-27).
1. Its certainty (v. 1C).
Christ will surely bring every one to
account for the use made of his gifts.
Men may go on in proud unbelief and
cebrttTonr but God never forgets. He
has appointed a day in which be will
judge the world (Acts 17.:31).
2. Tlie time (v. 15)
It will take place when Jesus conies
back to the earth. His return will
take place when lie has received his
kingdom. He will receive Ids kingdom
when he asks the Father (Ps. 2:8).
His delay In asking the Father for his
kingdom is because of Ids long suffer

3. * Rewards given for faithfulness
(TV. 16-10).
(1) The first report .(vv. 1C. 17).
He did not say. “I have made ten
pounds,” but "Thy pound hath gained
ten pounds." He recognized the Lord’s
ownership. To tills the Lord replied hy
'commendation. He praised him and
promoted him. making him ruler over
ten cities.
(2) The second report (vv. 18. 10).
In this case the pound had gained
five pounds. He did not get the Lord's
commendation for he had not done so
well, hut was appointed to a plaefc of
rulerslilp over five cities. The reward
In each-case was proportioned to faith
fulness during the Lord’s absence.
4. Judgment upon the unfaithful
(vv. 20-27).
(1) His report (vv. 20. 21).
This report was entirely bad. He
had not put the pound to use but laid
It away, throwing the blame upom-the-
Ix>rd. He asserted that the character
•of tire lx<>rd was touch as to produce
fear.
' (2) Condemnation (vv. 22. 23).

FORD BRAKES
ARE II-N USUALLY
EFFECTIVE
L
Reliability and safety
due to simple design and
careful construction
/
ONE OF the firat things you will notice when you
drive the Ford is the quick, effective action of its
four-wheel brakes.
They are unusually safe and reliable because
they are mechanical, internal expanding, with all
braking surfaces fully enclosed. This prevents mud,
water, sand, etc., from getting between the band
and drum and interfering with brake action. ,
Other outstanding features of the Ford are the
Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, four Hou-
daille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers,
aluminum pistons, torque-tube drive, more than
twenty ball and roller bearings, Rustleks Steel,
reliability, economy, and long life.
You save when you buy the Ford and you save
every mile you <|rive.
