Earlier today, the FBI shared two blurry photos on X of a person of interest in the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Numerous users replied with AI-upscaled, “enhanced” versions of the pictures almost immediately, turning the pixelated surveillance shots into sharp, high-resolution images.

Listen or read the following transcript as D.A. Carson examines why Jesus used parables in his teachings, specifically exploring Matthew 13:10–17, 34–35. Carson discusses how parables were designed to both reveal and conceal truths about the Kingdom of Heaven, making them accessible to those receptive to Jesus’ message while simultaneously hiding these truths from the unreceptive, thus fulfilling prophecy and distinguishing between different responses to his teachings.
