The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the story of Zacchaeus and the parable of the minas in relation to the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Gregg highlights the importance of stewarding one's possessions and resources in service of the kingdom of God. He also notes the political implications of Jesus' actions, which may have contributed to the hostility of his opponents in the days leading up to his crucifixion. Despite Jesus' efforts to bring peace to Jerusalem, he was ultimately rejected by its people, resulting in the destruction of the city.
