"I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away." (19:26). Isn't this the opposite of every other parable? I thought the rich would be poor and the poor would be rich? I had to read this again before I figured that with the entrance to Jerusalem as the next story, Jesus was talking about the fact that he will bequeath his story and the good news upon his death and we, in our time on this Earth should use this news and invest it with others that they might learn of God's love.
I'm a little disappointed to know that there is a hierarchy of reward for the returns on investment. If you do better than others you get more in heaven? What does it mean to own 11 cities verses 5 in heaven?
