Scripture: Mark 4:26-34
Ok – so, let’s spend a few minutes talking about the kingdom of God.
What comes to mind? Come on. Just describe the Kingdom of God.
Kind of something hard to picture, isn’t it? Even harder to describe.
Jesus attempts several times to explain what the kingdom of God is like – the problem is, from what angle do you approach it? What aspect of the Kingdom of God are we going to talk about? Why not use literal descriptions? Golden streets, pearly gates… wouldn’t that be easier?
Instead, we get these parables. In fact, there are over 37 total parables throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. (Jesus kinda liked parables) Six of them are used to try and describe the Kingdom of God.
