Do You Hear What I Hear - Part 5 of Make Way for the King

In this episode, we look at the parables of Jesus. Every one of Jesus' parables is about the Kingdom of God. They teach us different Truths about the Kingdom of God and what it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom. Additionally, the parables are meant to divide. While the entire theme of the Bible is God’s Redemptive plan for His people, there is a sub theme of division – the divide between the godly line and the ungodly line – the people who belong to God and the people who do not. We see it beginning in Genesis with the division between Cain and Seth and it continues all the way through all 66 books until Revelation with the division of the wicked and the righteous. The parables are part of that. The parables that Jesus told are meant to be understood by those who belong to God, but their meaning is hidden, even seeming foolish to those who do not belong to God. That’s what Jesus meant when He quoted Isaiah which said, “‘they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.’” Join us as we delve into what Jesus' parables teach us about the Kingdom of God and what they tell us about Jesus!
