We were wired to love stories. 

That’s why Jesus used so many parables, because stories stick. 

Let’s dig to discover the meaning of The Kingdom Parables.

This lake is what we often call the ‘Sea of Galilee’, but it is a freshwater lake. Jesus taught crowds on the hills of Galilee, but on this day, Jesus used a different method to communicate to the large crowd gathered. Jesus got into a boat and spoke to the crowds standing on the shore. 

The disciples of Jesus heard Him teach many times, and He made the meanings simple and clear, but NOW…now Jesus told these stories without explaining what they meant. WHY?

This conversation was just between Jesus and His disciples, who were permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Those who really listen to Jesus with a desire to do what He says will be given more understanding, an abundance of knowledge - WISDOM from God.

• Parables reveal & conceal - revealing truth to those who are listening, but concealing the truth from those who are not.

Note who is at fault here. Jesus hasn’t blinded them or caused them to be deaf to His teachings. Instead, the people have closed their eyes and ears. 

• Parables help the simple see and make the boastful blind.

The disciples of Jesus were seeing and hearing what many prophets and righteous people longed to see. For hundreds of years the Jewish people were studying the Scriptures and preparing themselves as they awaited the Ultimate Messiah, yet they died before His arrival.

The good soil, those who truly hear and understand God’s word - true disciples of Jesus - will produce a harvest. 

True disciples of Jesus won’t fall away due to persecution. 

True disciples of Jesus won’t get tangled up in worldly worries, riches, or pleasures on earth.  

Jesus is calling His disciples to an incredible task…to bear spiritual fruit - that their lives would produce more life!
