During the season of Lent, we’ll be jumping into the gospel of Matthew and journeying with Jesus through the final, tempestuous season of his ministry and teaching. As he journeys toward Jerusalem and the events of his betrayal, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection, Jesus speaks to his disciples in parables about the nature of the Kingdom of God. They struggled to understand, and we often do, as well. What might the Spirit be saying to us through these final parables of Christ?
