Self-Righteousness vs. God’s Righteousness
Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous. The Pharisee thanks God that he is not like other men and lists his fasting and tithing. The tax collector stands far off, beats his breast, and prays, "God, be merciful to…

A Good Principle from a Bad Example
A dishonest manager, about to lose his job for wasting his master's goods, reduces the debts of his master's debtors so they will welcome him later. His master commends him, not for dishonesty but for shrewdness. Jesus draws a principle from this bad example: use worldly wealth now in light of...

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man sells all he has to buy, and like a pearl of great value for which a merchant, an expert in pearls, gives everything. Others may not see its worth, but the kingdom is worth everything else. The parable of the net adds that at…

The Reality of the Kingdom: Weeds, Seeds, and Yeast
In the parable of the weeds, an enemy sows weeds among the wheat, and the master tells his servants to let both grow together until the harvest, so that they do not uproot the wheat.

How Will You Understand All the Parables?
Jesus teaches the parable of the sower, of seed falling on the path, rocky ground, among thorns, and on good soil. Parables have a twofold purpose: they reveal the secret of the kingdom to disciples and conceal it from outsiders. The parable checks sowers: they sow the word broadly and leave the...
