Why Did Jesus Speak in Parables?

A message by Joe Bennett on 1/14/24 to students out of Matthew 13:10-17.

A parable is an earthly story about a heavenly reality.

1. Parables show that spiritual understanding is a gift from God (11)

2. Parables test where you are spiritually (12)

3. Parables reveal the condition of your soul (13-17)
