I
almost broke out in a roar at the breakfast table this morning…
while Barbara and I were discussing something
relative to Jesus speaking in parables.
All of a sudden, as I was reading Matthew 13:13, I remembered this is
Friday the 13th, a day of superstition for those who are not Living
in the Mind of Christ. For those people,
parables are somewhat of a superstitious thing…
Of course, what is remarkable about Matthew
chapter 13 in the first place is this is where we find the first recorded
parables of Jesus. To top it off, after
He made His first declaration, His disciples came to Him and asked why He was
speaking to the multitudes like that.
His answer is staggering: (my paraphrase) “so they won’t understand.” Say what?!?
Read 13:1-17.
Now, the question is: are parables “an earthly
story with a heavenly meaning”? OR, are
they “heavenly stories with a heavenly meaning”? Sort of depends on which mind you are
operating in, doesn’t it?
