Sometimes, the easiest way to understand a principle is to have someone explain it very simply with an illustration from everyday life. The Lord knew that so He began to teach using everyday situations and things to illustrate spiritual principles. In Matthew 13, the Lord emphasizes that His teaching ministry is changing. So, He begins to teach in parables which is an earthly story with an heavenly meaning. He also indicates that teaching in parables emphasizes God’s judgment in a part of the parable process. Are you receiving truth or are you having truth hidden from you? Today’s message talks about both.
