This Sunday, we will explore Matthew 13:10-17, where the disciples ask Jesus why He speaks to the crowds in parables. Jesus explains that He uses parables to reveal truths to those who are open to learning, while concealing them from those who are not receptive. He quotes the prophet Isaiah, describing how people's hearts have become dull, and they are unable to truly understand or see the message of God.

Jesus emphasizes that the disciples are blessed because their eyes and ears are open to the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, something many prophets and righteous people longed to see and hear but couldn’t. The passage highlights the importance of spiritual insight and the difference between those who seek the truth and those who remain indifferent.
