Parables of the Kingdom

Striking! Morgan discusses the parabolic method in these eight parables in Matthew’s gospel, giving Christ’s own view of His Kingdom and their meaning in life today. The Lord Jesus, at this point in His ministry, introduces a practically new preaching method! Literally, a parable means placing things side by side, for comparison. Something is placed alongside something else, to explain the one by the other, always demonstrating similarity and disparity. A parable intends to arrest the attention and reveal by illustration, to awaken the willfully blind in a godless age.
