Back to EpisodesWhy Did Jesus Hid the Truth in Stories?
Description
Why did Jesus tell stories that some people were never meant to understand? The answer runs through one word in the Bible: mystery.
Let's trace "mystery" from the parables in Matthew 13 back to the word raz in Daniel 2, and walk through Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the statue and the stone cut without hands. Then we ask what God's covert operation means for how we live.
