Unlocking the Parables of Jesus
During the span of about three years, Jesus managed to change the entire world through the power of stories. He knew that stories possess incredible potential to spark emotions, they help us make sense of things…we learn so many essential life lessons from stories! We learn about God’s generosity and grace from the Parable of the Sower, we learn to confront the sins and challenges in our own lives in the Parable of the Speck and the Log, and we gain glimpses of what heaven is like through the stories Jesus told. Jesus healed the sick, performed miracles, cast out demons, and everywhere he went, Jesus took the time to preach and teach others about a renewed sense of life, love, and faith. Through the practice of storytelling, Jesus inspired those around him, and those stories continue to speak to us today.
