Synopsis
The mustard seed. The wineskins. The sheep and the goats. Through these and dozens more parables, Jesus helped his followers-then and now-grasp spiritual truth. Dr. R. T. Kendall, who for years preached from Martyn Lloyd-Jones's pulpit at Westminster Chapel in London, unwraps Jesus' simple stories one by one, uncovering profound meaning. Why did Jesus reveal so much about his Kingdom in parables? "He was building a bridge from the natural to the spiritual," writes Dr. Kendall. He shows how Jesus used parables to sow seeds in the listener's heart that could later grow and bear fruit. Readers will learn how parables safeguard the secrets of God, reveal his sovereignty, and actually survey salvation-from conversion, through the work of the Holy Spirit, to what happens to a believer at death. As readers begin to understand the purpose, promise, and paradox of the parables, they will get to know, in a new and fresh way, the One who told them. Two thousand years ago and today, the parables enliven and enlighten the hearts of all who have ears to hear.

From the Back Cover
Understanding the parables of Jesus is not as easy as you may think. Why? Because Jesus told these stories as much to veil the truth as to express it. For some, hearing a parable only hardens their hearts further; for others, the meaning is clear and their spirits long to know more. As Dr. R.T. Kendall points out, you need the Holy Spirit to reveal the true meaning of the parables. In these pages he unwraps the parables of the mustard seed, the sheep and the goats, the wineskins, and dozens more. You'll learn why Jesus revealed so much about Himself and His Kingdom in simple stories, and how He used these to sow seeds that would later grow and bear fruit. As you begin to understand the purpose, promise, and paradox of the parables, you will know in a fresh way the One who told them. Whether two thousand years ago or today, the parables enliven and enlighten the hearts of those who have ears to hear. Dr. R. T. Kendall, a protégé of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, pastored the historic Westminster Chapel in London for 25 years. The author of numerous books, he conducts "Word, Spirit and Power" conferences throughout North America.
