Jesus warns of spiritual blindness - that some will go searching for a sign, when the sign was right there in front of them. Beware of teaching that focuses on religious obligation rather than pointing to the person, work and heart of Christ.

Jesus’ greatness is displayed in his insight into the human heart, and his bold confrontation of religious traditions that nullify God’s word. His greatness is utterly countercultural — a willingness to suffer, to be misunderstood, and to lay down his life.

Jesus teaches on the kingdom of heaven in a series of parables such as a treasure found hidden in a field, or a mustard seed that grows into a beautiful tree, or a pearl worth selling everything you have to keep. Will those who seek find hope in the kingdom of God?
