The Parables of Matthew 13 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990544901)

The simple stories which Jesus shared in Matthew 13 are quite well--known, and many people treat them the same way they treat the fables of Aesop or the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. But Jesus' parables in Matthew 13 are so much more than mere morality tales. Jesus taught important truths about the coming of His kingdom, as well as helping His disciples to understand their responsibilities during the time period between His first coming and His glorious return.

The Parables of Matthew 13 helps to answer questions like these:

• What are the lessons Jesus taught in these parables?
• How can we interpret these stories without reading our own meanings into them?
• Does the kingdom of heaven exist today during the time between Christ's two comings?
• What are our responsibilities after learning the meaning of Jesus' kingdom parables?
