Secrets

Matthew 13:10-11 - And the disciples came to him and asked him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of heaven but to them it has not been given."

The secrets of heaven? Why do some get it and some don't? Could it have anything to do with the soil he talked about in the previous parable? That's the thing about parables - they sometimes have more than one interpretation. When our hearts are good and open - we are more open to the secrets of heaven, whatever Jesus means by this. When our hearts are closed to God and to others, then we will only see what we see with our eyes, rather than our hearts. God does speak to all of us - even when we are not ready to receive it.
