Jesus says a lot about the kingdom of heaven by using parables. These are stories about normal things that have a deeper meaning. If you read one of them, you’ll get an idea of the kingdom of heaven, but not the full picture. When you put the parables together, you get to see a bigger and clearer picture of what the kingdom is.
Why the bread and the bonfire? You’ll understand as you listen to this, or if you read Matthew 13:24-52.
