KNOW THE TRUTH - "Come and See!" July 1st, 2020

Excerpt - The Lord used parables, to teach spiritual lessons to the children of Israel, in His work for the coming of the kingdom of God. His disciples asked Him why He taught using parables; His response:

Matthew 13:13 “Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.”

To say that Jesus taught in parables to make it easier to understand His message is in fact the opposite of this statement. Even His disciples (to whom it was “given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God” – Luke 8:10), did not always comprehend His teaching.

The fact remains that the majority of those to whom the Lord came, did not want to see Him for who He truly was. This would be the testament of the majority; however, even among the masses that did not comprehend or acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, there were the exceptions.
