Jesus was bringing in the Kingdom (Reign of God) in a way entirely different from what people expected; they struggled to open up to what he was offering. We are still struggling with this today. Through the parables, Jesus helps us open up our hearts and minds to let the Word of the Reign of God take root and grow so that we might begin to truly understand and be influenced in the way we live. Jesus invited his hearers to truly hear…and we are invited into that as well. Are we ready to do the work of growing alongside of our church family? The world around us, in Franklin, needs the growth of the Reign of God in us.
