    About this ebook

    Christians are called to be disciples. Though we engage in religious services and ministries, the pursuit of discipleship must be the foundation for the Christian's life and service. In this study, we will examine three parables: the parables of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, and the unmerciful servant. As we learn from these parables, we will stay on the path to true discipleship.

      Introduction

      Paul instructed Timothy to rightly divide the Word of Truth. In order to do this as believers we should follow this example and become students of the Bible. The Kingdom Study Series was developed to aid believers in the study of the scriptures. Various areas of biblical theology and Christian practice are explored. This series is designed to help believers to increase in their knowledge of the faith.

      In this publication:

      Story telling is an age-old tradition used to teach lessons. Stories are sometimes referred to as myths, fables, riddles, epics, and the like. In both Jewish and Christian tradition, when individuals wanted to explain a spiritual truth, they used stories known as parables.

      During His earthly ministry, Jesus primarily used parables to instruct His listeners. In fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, He taught the people truths concerning the Kingdom of God.

      In this study, we will examine the three parables of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, and the unmerciful servant. The first two parables describe the value of the kingdom of God (Matthew 13:44-46).
