Week 13 - Quarter Review
May 25, 2025 • Matthew Allen, Matthew Ringle
Jesus’ parables in Matthew 13 reveal the nature, power, and future of the kingdom of heaven. Following Israel’s rejection of Jesus as King (Matthew 12), He begins teaching in parables to unveil “the mysteries of the kingdom” to those with open hearts and to obscure the truth from the hardened. The kingdom parables teach us that God’s reign is neither political nor nationalistic; it is spiritual and global. Its growth, influence, and judgment often remain unseen until the appointed time.
