PARABLES JESUS TOLD

Parables were extensively used by Jesus in the New Testament to drive home His points to those who came to ask, listen, and learn about the kingdom of God. They helped in greatly expounding the message that He brought to the world. Parables were expressive stories that used fictional characters and/or events to help describe subjects through the use of suggestive likenesses to help convey important messages or information. Parables played great roles in the teaching ministry of Jesus. This book takes a layman’s view of the many parables told by Jesus. The meanings and implications of the parables for fruitful Christian living were also elucidated.

Parables played very important roles in the ministry of Jesus, more so in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. They were extensively used to explain the mission of Jesus, which is to point men to the kingdom of God. It is no wonder that they were viewed as earthly stories with significant heavenly meanings. Jesus said those who listen and act on His parables will know and understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven. While some of the parables were very easy to comprehend and understand, others needed deeper introspection to get a hang of what Jesus was saying or portraying.

The first parable told by Jesus was recorded in the gospel of Matthew. Some of them were repeated in the gospels of Mark and Luke. Jesus used them to properly explain how we, as humans, are to relate not only to ourselves horizontally but also vertically to God. As modern-day Christians, there is a lot to learn from the parables. I know that as Christians (and maybe not), we have come across these parables through reading them or in passing. Whatever your experience has been, this book aims to further build on what you already know and hopefully shed more light on how the parables could still have an impact on you as a modern-day Christian. The approach is to take another look (albeit a layman’s) at all the parables told by Jesus, expound on them, and see their applicability to Christians living in these changing times.

As you explore this book, I hope you will be able to put yourself in the position of the audience of Jesus when he spoke the parables and gain new insight. It is necessary to reflect on the warnings given in them and make changes where required. This book is perfect for individual or group Bible study.
The Parables Jesus Told is written in simple language so they can be better understood, be insightful, and make a meaningful impact on the reader.

This book will expose the reader to all the parables told by Jesus.
