OUR FATHER WHOSE KINGDOM OPERATES BY MYSTERIES

Matthew chapter 13 verses 34 - 35 continues this way;

34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, 

35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables;

I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

The parables the Lord taught were glimpses into the nature and form that the kingdom of God would take when it touched ground but the parables were designed to keep the things of the kingdom secret except to those who were being given the kingdom.

Keeping the things of the kingdom of God secret from the kingdom of darkness gave the kingdom of God the advantage so that its plans could unfold in plain sight but be completely opaque and mysterious to those who would try to thwart the purposes of God.

Amen.
