Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time. It’s a phrase that has begun so many stories. It causes us to lean in, ready to hear what comes next because stories are powerful. Jesus told a lot of stories. His parables were a way of explaining the kingdom of God that he was ushering in. But sometimes his parables were confusing and complicated. Even his own disciples struggled to understand them. Why wasn’t Jesus more clear and direct? Why did he use parables that could be misunderstood and misinterpreted?

MATTHEW 13:1-16
