    Q&A "Taught of the Spirit"

    Q: Isn't the householder in the Parable of Jesus about the Son?

    A: Parable itself as the Spirit introduced through the prophet refers to it. "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."(Matt.13:35). The Word establishes Jesus Christ as the son, as the householder of whose house are we."But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."(He.3:6)

    Mysteries which have been from the worlds began, the Gospel of God Jesus made manifest in his life. He was like the householder which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. Much of these things his disciples could not first understand but the Word made flesh made them catch on,"Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord."(Matt.13:5-52). How does the Spirit teach but by principle of Association? "He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me."( Luke 10:16; Matt.10:40)

    Synoptic gospels are written by men of old as taught of the Spirit. Jesus presents the doctrine of God against the backdrop of the mountain God. Sermon on the mount is how the householder sets him emblem as the stone cut not with hands. Where as in Luke we have Jesus sending the other seventy disciples and it is concerned with the everlasting gospel and the end times. Beatitudes as delivered by Jesus is set in the plains, "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain" (Ze.4:7) This is also about the same mystery, of 'the house of my rest'. (Is.66:1) which St Matthew ans St Luke are approaching from different angles.
