According to Matthew 13:11, not every original listener understood the fictitious, non-fantasy, and relatively short stories Christ shared to illustrate the kingdom of heaven. Likewise, modern-day readers may struggle to interpret and apply these analogies, rich in imagery and metaphorical language.  
 
This book comes alongside believers in the discovery of these mysteries (how Jesus labeled the partially-revealed features of His kingdom). In this twelve-week study, Pierre Rosa unfolds the kingdom parables in Matthew 13 as a road map that leads to joy in turbulent times.
 
The first part titled His Revered Majesty builds a solid foundation by focusing on the identity, beauty, and majesty of our Lord. The second part, His Royal Mysteries, introduces the signposts by zooming in on Jesus’ second discourse recorded by Matthew. Then, following the chronology of the life of Christ, His Regal Mission takes you to chapter 10 of the first Gospel and shepherds you through the joy of learning how our Majestic Savior enlists and equips His people to accomplish His redemptive work.
