The Kingdom

The Kingdom explores Jesus' teachings about the Kingdom of God, specifically through 13 parables. It begins with a discussion of Jesus' post-resurrection teachings, where he spent 40 days instructing his disciples about the Kingdom, focusing on fragments from five days. The core of the text dissects 13 parables that illustrate various principles of the Kingdom, such as forgiveness, accountability, and the Kingdom's value and growth. Each parable, from the Sower to the Ten Virgins, conveys essential aspects of the Kingdom's nature, emphasizing internal and external growth, the cost of discipleship, and the ultimate accountability of believers.
