Explain

And He said, With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use to illustrate and explain it?

Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.”

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable that says people aren’t defiled by what they eat.”

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning…Colossians 1:27 God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes

Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, and working together is success.
