11-13-15 Speaking in Parables

Back of the Choir

parable of the sower

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearingthey hear not, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13:13 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Savior spoke in parables to most

Because they did not want the patent truth.

They wanted to go back to friends and boast

They’d seen a miracle and played the sleuth.

When Jesus showed His face He drew a crowd;

The vast majority went for the show.

They saw Him with their eyes but were not bowed,

They heard His voice but did not want to know.

He spoke in stories, fables, myths and tales;

Those hungry for the truth would understand.

The Spirit opened ears and took off scales

To those who sought the Kingdom here at hand.

To some the gospel seems like falsity;

You cannot get this kind to hear and see.
