Matthew 13

Hello everyone!

In Matthew 13, he has bundled up a bunch of Christ's parables, just as he did when he bundled up some of Christ's miracles into 2 chapters. He likes to keep his topics together. Your reading for tonight then is:

Matthew 13

While reading, make note of the many parables that Matthew records. Choose just one parable and see if you can't decipher what Christ was trying to teach.

Christ would often use parables because it allowed him to reveal great truths to those who were spiritually in tune and, at the same time, conceal or hide those truths from those who were not ready for them. When we take the time to study these parables, we are showing our Heavenly Father that we are ready and willing to learn his great truths and the spirit will help us to understand them.
