Jesus knew us well and knew exactly who He was speaking to…
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
Stories, or parables, are how Jesus teaches. He does this so we can understand. He could have easily blown us away with the full truth, but He knew what we needed. And He knew what we could handle.
He was speaking to the people who had not known how to read. He spoke to the poor, the tired, the humble, the poor in spirit, and you and I. He came to save us. He did not come to judge or condemn us.
Now…read. Start with the New Testament. Read every day. It’s a promise that you will grow and succeed in God’s plan for your life and the life of your family. #JesusSaves
Please let me know if you want to talk about Jesus. I would love to tell you about Him.
Amen
