In this episode of The Leader's Notebook, Dr. Mark Rutland reads from Matthew 13:18-48. Jesus describes the Kingdom of Heaven through parables, like a multifaceted jewel, each parable revealing another glimpse of its splendor. The Kingdom is ruled by God, but in its outward form, it remains a mixture until Christ’s return—imperfect in us, yet divinely orchestrated. And just as a man gives everything for a great treasure, so Jesus gave everything for you. God, the King, is calling you to His table of grace. Will you see yourself as He sees you—worth everything?
