1 | Are the "people" in Matt. 13 unsaveable? | Matt 13:36 | Wee Willy | 207747 | ||
Given: The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10) However, in Matt. 13:10, when Jesus is asked why he speaks in parables, His answer seems to imply that He does so not to aid in the people in their understanding, but to confound it..."Otherwise they might see...hear...and understand... and turn and I would heal them." And this because "in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah." So, then, has Jesus written them off as unreachable and unsaveable? |

Hi Willy: Welcome to the forum! If we look at Matt 13:36 we can see that the disciples didn't know what the parables meant either, Jesus had to explain the parables to the disciples, just like we need the scriptures to explain them to us. So we cannot from scripture determine if they were unsaveable or unreachable. To speculate what Jesus was thinking about their individual hearts, would be quite presumptuous. Isaiah 55:8 God bless John |
