“The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Getting the good news out there that he came to rule on earth as King was his top priority.

THE TRIGGER
“This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14 The message about the coming kingdom is at the top of God’s list of priorities for the church.

God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! God bless the coming kingdom of our ancestor David. Hooray for God in heaven above!” Mark 11:7-10 If you look at the life of Jesus, you get a picture of what this faith walk is all about. [...]
