Today we read Matthew 13. This chapter contains several beautiful parables. A parable is a teaching by Jesus about heaven, in which He uses earthly examples to make His instruction easier for us to understand. Sometimes He has to explain His teaching because the disciples do not understand Him at first. See the parable of the sower (teaching in verses 3-8; explanation in verses 18-23). May you be blessed by today’s teaching by Jesus and may you be His good seed (verse 23)!
