The Parables of Jesus - Meaning and Personal Application
In three years of public ministry, Jesus's words transformed humanity and challenged conventional wisdom. He demonstrated servant leadership and called on His followers to demonstrate a radical love to build God's kingdom on earth. Jesus often taught in parables - short, relatable stories that illustrate profound spiritual truths. He used this method for several reasons, including making his teachings memorable and accessible to a wide audience while also revealing deeper meanings to those who were receptive. For those with hardened hearts or a lack of genuine desire to understand, the parables served to obscure the truth, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies.
These parables are drawn from everyday life, invite us to see the world as God sees it - challenging our assumptions, awakening our hearts and calling us to live in light of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Whoever has ears, let them hear! (Matt 13:9)
