Welcome to Parable #1.
That’s right! In this PODCAST, we begin in earnest now to understand Jesus’ parables in Matthew 13.
Oh, you’re in for a treat. Because this first parable, just like the eight that will follow it, speaks directly to our lives at this time, in this place, in our day, today.
This is as personal as it gets.
Jesus now shifts His focus completely, from talking to the crowds of His day, about the many challenges that they faced, to talking directly to us in our day, about the many challenges that we each face today.
I cannot stress enough the absolute importance of understanding these parables. Neither could Jesus, who begins this first parable with the word, “Listen.” And then ends the parable by referencing those of us who do indeed “listen and understand.”
In this podcast, we will do both -- listen and understand.
