While they may seem mysterious and obscure on the outside, parables have a lot to teach people about the nature of God's Kingdom. In Mark 4:21-34, Jesus uses 4 parables to teach his followers 4 truths: that he will not remain hidden forever, that they ought to pay attention to God's Word, that God makes things grow, and that the future of God's Kingdom is spectacular.
