Matthew 13: Why Parables?
Matthew 13:10-17Why did Jesus teach in parables? The mere fact that the disciples asked demonstrates that the common reason people think isn't actually the reason. Jesus wasn't simply trying to illustrate His teaching. Jesus wasn't trying to get down on the levels of His audience. Jesus wasn't trying to make it easy. Andrew and Edwin discuss Jesus's own response to this question. It is kind of surprising.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

Matthew 12: Jesus Responds to the Pharisees' Counternarrative
Matthew 12:15-32The Pharisees have been countering Matthew's narrative about Jesus. Clearly, Matthew is telling us Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is performing amazing signs and doing wonderful works. The Pharisees have to come up with a reason Jesus is doing these things but at the same time a reason folks should reject Him. Their counternarrative is that Jesus is in league with the prince of demons. This isn't the first time they've leveled this charge. However, this is the first time Jesus responds.
