We see what the key is differently. Crazy maybe but about five years ago as I lay in bed one night, it was as if hearing His voice. Not an audible voice but it kept repeating all night where I could not turn it off, I couldn’t sleep. I won’t forget it. It was the same thing said over and over again. “I am the key that unlocks the parables.” Over and over “Christ is the key” …in “Learn of Me for I am lowly and of a humble Spirit” this wasn’t said but over and over “I am the Key.” It wouldn’t stop, no matter how much I tried to go to sleep. Maybe my subconscious had latched onto a thought and it kept me awake, but something did happen after in reading the parables with Christ as the lens, Christ as the center, the Key. To me it makes sense that He is the key. Because of even in the parable of the sower. It tells of a good heart and out from this New (not cursed)Ground, this New Creation of not cursed ground but able to receive the seed of God as the natural man cannot but Christ did …as His Heart and Mind (the Mind of Christ) did receive God, the Word, the seed planted of the Father …answers to me what He said must happen where He told His disciples why He spoke in parables, but that a time would come when He would no longer speak to them in parables; but show them plainly the Father and speak plainly to them no longer in parables. For me that puts an exclamation mark at the end of “how will you understand what I say unto you?” The answer being “you must be born anew of the Spirit of God.” “For it is The Spirit given of God.” The Spirit that was and is in Christ that reveals unto you what is the Mystery of the Kingdom of God, in the Son of God.
Know you not this parable? Then how will you know all parables?
By the Spirit of God, and not by men. “I am the Key.” “Learn of Me.” “Come all you heavy burdened and I will give you rest.” Then I will plainly show you the Father.
