The Mystery Revealed in Christ
34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”
Matthew 13:34–35

The Mystery Revealed in Christ
Jesus taught the crowds in parables, revealing the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven through earthly stories. Yet these mysteries were not inventions of men or clever illustrations. They were the fulfillment of what God had spoken through His prophets from of old. What had once been hidden was now being made known in the coming of Christ. The kingdom of God does not arrive according to the wisdom or expectations of the world. Its King comes humbly, hidden beneath the weakness of human flesh. He speaks God's Word, suffers rejection, and goes willingly to the cross. There, what appeared to be defeat becomes the victory of salvation. Even now, Christ reveals Himself through His Word. We do not need to climb into heaven to discover God's mysteries. They are proclaimed to us in the Scriptures and delivered through the Gospel. The crucified and risen Christ is God's mystery revealed, and in Him we have life everlasting.
