Scripture Reading
Glad you’re with us
We’ll be looking at the first part of Matt 13 today
At 58 verses, it is quite a long chapter
Today: The Parable of the Sower
The Purpose of the Parables
The Parable of the Sower Explained
The Parable of the Sower is Jesus’ introduction to his own parables
He explains their purpose - and who, and who cannot understand them
And then he explains, in plain English, what it exactly means
This is a rare gem: Jesus interprets his own words
The Parable of the Sower sets the scene for all of his parables
Read along with me - the first 9 verses in Matt 13
(Pray…)
The parables of Jesus are deceptive in one sense
I think it’s been said a few different ways - I’m not sure who originally made this point:
The parables come across as nice little stories
But when you’re not expecting it - they go off like theological hand grenades
In other words, they are a nice way of explaining something very serious
