Parables - Luke 8:9-10

Luke 8:9-10 ESV 


And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’


The word of God is given to the world. It is given to those who can hear the word and understand. The word is given to all that ask, but ask you must. Understanding can only come through the Holy Spirit. That is why it is foolishness to the world and the power of God to those who are being saved. 


We have received the Holy Spirit and have access to the kingdom of God. In fact, He is with us and within us. 


Life is a parable. It points us to the author of life, our Creator. The teaching and evidence is there. 


As we are led by the Spirit, we are listening to the mind of Christ. Our mind transforms into the mind of Christ as we dwell in His presence.
