“His disciples came and asked him, “Why Do You Always Use These Hard-To-Understand Illustrations?” Then
he explained to them that only they were permitted to understand about the
Kingdom of Heaven, and others were not..”
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John
1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Matthew 13:1–9 (NKJV) 1 On the same day
Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great
multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat;
and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3 Then He spoke many
things to them in parables, saying: “Behold,
a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by
the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on
stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang
up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up
they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8
But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some
sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Matthew 13:10–17 (The Living Bible) 10 His
disciples came and asked him, “Why do
you always use these hard-to-understand illustrations?” 11 Then
he explained to them that only they were permitted to understand about the
Kingdom of Heaven, and others were not. 12 “For to him who has will more be given,” he told them, “and he will have
great plenty; but from him who has not, even the little he has will be taken
away. That is why I use these illustrations, so people will hear and see but
not understand. 14 “This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘They
hear, but don’t understand; they look, but don’t see! 15 For their
hearts are fat and heavy, and their ears are dull, and they have closed their
eyes in sleep, 16 so they
won’t see and hear and understand and turn to God again, and let me heal them.’
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. 17
Many a prophet and godly man has longed to see what you have seen and hear what
you have heard, but couldn’t.
Matthew 13:18–23 (NASB95) 18 “Hear then the
parable of the sower. 19 “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom
and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what
has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the
road. 20 “The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is
the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet
he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when
affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls
away. 22 “And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this
is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness
of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 23 “And the one on whom seed was sown on the
good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed
bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.”

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
