Matthew 13’s parable-palooza continues as pick up the second half of the chapter in today’s reading. Following the two agriculturally based parables from the last reading (the parable of the sower and the parable of the wheat and the weeds) we’ll read the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the leaven, each of which is used to explain how the kingdom will start small, then grow exponentially. After explaining the parable of the wheat and the weeds, more parables follow, including the parable of the hidden treasure, the priceless pearl, the large net, and the storehouse of truth. In each of these parables, Jesus is helping his disciples to understand the nature of the coming kingdom.
