Now, Jesus not only taught in this manner; he also taught us, his students in the kingdom, to teach in the same way. He taught about teaching in the kingdom of the heavens—using, of course, a parable. “So every bible scholar who is trained in the kingdom of the heavens is like someone over a household that shows from his treasures things new and things old” (Matt. 13:52 REV). By showing to others the presence of the kingdom in the concrete details of our shared existence, we impact the lives and hearts of our hearers, not just their heads. And they won’t have to write it down to hold onto it.
