Parable of the Owner of a House
In Matthew 13:52, Jesus shares a brief parable about the owner of a house, saying:
"And He said to them, 'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.'"
Jesus compares the scribes who have been instructed in the ways of the kingdom of heaven to the master of a house. Just as a master of a home brings out new and old treasures, a scribe trained for the kingdom of heaven shares both new revelations and the timeless wisdom of God's word.
In what ways does this parable challenge us to appreciate the continuity and progression of God's revelation throughout history?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
