This is just like "tell me you are a fool without telling it" "oH i'Ve read all the bible and nothing made sense" - LOL
It's pretty difficult to answer the question: "Jesus, tell us what the Kingdom of Heaven is like!" Especially when you're on a quest that will end in your death.
Sort of like getting "Jesus, are we there yet?!" or "Jesus, will all this be worth it?!" over and over and over again from your own Apostles who's only task is to bear witness to your sacrifice.
The Apostles _were_ the fools. They also failed to understand much of what they were told when they were told it. They didn't receive His wisdom easily.
> so the fools will never be able to understand it
You sort of need the fools to understand it. Why wouldn't you _want_ them too? To steal salvation from them? Weird choice.
> pearls to swine
Pearls before swine. Do not waste your time on those who do not understand it's value. You will only frustrate their salvation and turn them against you.
Remember.. the whole sermon this is from starts with "Judge not, that ye be not judged."
Its not about not judging anything. You need to judge whats good for you. Its about not judging when you are not in a position to judge or the judgement wont matter, at the end the ultimate master Judge is Jesus and God.
About the apostles, back in that time what could you get? Not all were fools. For that time they were wise in their way.
Nobody could understand 100% of what Jesus was saying. Basically he told to have faith.
He couldnt give all answers straight because he was trying to spread the gospel while not being detected, it was inevitable. He got detected since he was born, offered all thing by satan himself and denied trading his soul for anything on this world.
Remember he told many times to keep a secret of his miracles, and people started to rush to where he was, he couldnt even lay his head. This is how evil is everywhere and aint no rest for the wicked they spend their lives planning to harm and bring people down. The rulers of the power and gold, always planning on how to live forever and get more gold and more power, you know who they are. Light and darkness.
Kingdom of Heaven is a pearl you save when you find and throw all others away. Its the best seed you ever have.
It's exceptionally clear. Most just don't want to hear it because of how challenging it is. The Apostles certainly weren't ready and the very tone of their questions is meant to indicate this.
They also openly complain at times when they fail to understand after being told. This is why Jesus cursed the fig tree, to make this exact point to them in response to their complaints and selfish questions.
> Kingdom of Heaven is a pearl you save when you find and throw all others away.
Yes, and then you need to get as many others to come with you as you possibly can. This is exactly what Jesus commands.
This is what I take from the Bible because these were the types of problems I had in my life. I was aimless and didn't understand what God wanted and that made me angry. So these are the parts I needed to focus on, personally.
