My preferred interpretation of yesterday’s kingdom parable has precious little in it that directly applies to the church,
so I thought today we might consider two more verses from Matthew 13’s
prophetic look at the kingdom of heaven from the perspective of the first
century Jew.
In this case, the text is even shorter than yesterday’s parable (at least in English), but the folks that gave us chapters
and verses in our Bibles elected to chop this verse in half.
And so long as we’re all talking about the same two verses, what does it really matter how they have been divided?
