Parables
Deborah-Leigh:
Beautiful post Joe.
I believe Paul saw the same things you are being given to see and share. : 1 Cor 2 : 9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which god has prepared for them that love Him. 10. But God HAS REVEALED THEM TO US by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things even the deep things of God.
Peace to you Brother

The leaven is Christ and the elect. They are the few (a little leaven) who will judge the world. It leavens the whole lump. That is one of the greatest parables to prove all will be saved.
Man!! If the church had written the bible then it might say, "the kingdom of god is likened unto a firecracker, when lit in an oil field".
Snowfire:
It is interesting that of the sheep that are lost, many don’t even know they are lost (don’t know they are in need of repentance) and that thru the act of causing trials and tribulations (God's searching for the lost sheep) is what reveals to the sheep that they are lost.
Deborah-Leigh:
That is true for me too Snowfire. Compair what Babylon would have us believe. That if we are in trials and tribulations we are already condemned not being lost and found!
That's funny musicman :D :)
Peace to you

In conversing with a Brother yesterday evening he pointed to another dimension of these parables that speak of The Kingdom, where that Kingdom can be found and what must be done (through Christ) to find it, to be discovered so to speak.
Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Mat 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Anyone care to speculate on the meaning here?
Consider the following verse as well;
Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
