Matthew – the
Gospel of Fulfillment – Chapter 13 Why
Parables?
You
will keep on hearing, but will not understand;
You will keep on seeing, but will not perceive;
For the heart of this people has become dull,
With their ears they scarcely hear,
And they have closed their eyes,
Otherwise they would see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart and return,
And I would heal them.’ (verses 14-15 quoting from Isaiah chapter 6)

Where do you stand with Jesus? He told parables to draw the listener in to
understand greater truths and also to hide them from those who would not
believe. So are you spiritually deaf,
blind and indifferent, or have you been cured? He is the great Healer.
