Subject: Purpose of the parables? |
Bible Note: Hi Tamara: To answer your question, the parables are only about ONE thing. The Kingdom Jesus was preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM ! From the time of his showing to Israel, to his crucifixion.All of the prophesy's were about the (Messiah, and his Kingdom.) He was going about setting it up, Establishing it, in the hearts of men. That is why the Disciples asked him. Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ,Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Read this PARABLE, it is about the Kingdom , NOT Salvation as people think. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Here is an example, of the unbelief. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The same thing is happening today, by the Churches. How many Churches actually teach the Kingdom? In Christ JIM |
