When his disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables, Jesus did not say that the parables made his teachings easier to understand. Instead, he indicated that many people would misunderstand his parables. He suggested that they were spoken in a code that would only be understood by believers. "To you has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given," he said (Matthew 13:11).What secrets are these? They are the identity of Jesus-truly and completely God, truly and completely human, and the world's only Savior and Redeemer-and the mission of Jesus-to live a sinless life in the place of his people, and to offer that life as a sacrifice to redeem his people. Lacking knowledge of those secrets, the parables of Jesus appear to be lessons about how to live as Christians. Knowing those secrets, the parables are revealed as descriptions of how to have eternal life through the work of Jesus-his sinless life, his sacrificial death, and his victorious resurrection.This book guides the reader to understand the parables of Jesus according to the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It helps the reader to become that disciple described by Jesus: "Every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old" (Matthew 13:52).

Against a background of the strife-torn land of Judea two thousand years ago, Mika Waltari has written what is certainly his most important novel. Seeking the meaning to his life in the study of philosophy, the young Roman. Marcus Manilianus, discovers in an Alexandrian library a vast number of predictions, all tending to confirm his own feeling that the world is about to enter upon a new era. Two chance encounters with Jews who proclaim the coming of a world leader whom they call the Messiah or King, cause Marcus to resolve to make a visit to the Holy City of the Jews. He arrives outside Jerusalem in time to see crowds—some curious, some shocked—staring up at three crosses on a nearby mound. Above the center cross, an inscription had been fixed: JESUS OF NAZARETH, KING OF THE JEWS. The quest that ensues leads Marcus through all parts of Jerusalem and into contact with men and women of all stations of life who had known this remarkable man. And by degrees, wonderful if strange things are revealed to him of Jesus’ teaching, and he experiences the odd sensation of almost believing in the destiny of this crucified Roman among the alien Jews, Stands alone on the borderline of two worlds, feelings he belongs to neither, and it becomes vital to him to find “the way, “the Kingdom,” to again knowledge and certainty, not merely belief. What follows, as Marcus pursues his search for the promised secret of the Kingdom, bring to a climax as exciting and deeply moving a novel as Mika Waltari, certainly one of the world’s outstanding historical novelists, has ever written. It is a story of a time long past, yet it deals with a theme as modern as today: the dilemma of modern man and his culture in gaining and retaining a faith. And always present throughout the novel is the splendor, the irony and humor which have so delighted millions of readers of other Waltari novels from The Egyptian to The Etruscan.
