Stories
and Parables of JESUS
This
section is dedicated to lessons that Jesus taught through
the use of parables and stories. "In all this teaching
to the crowds Jesus spoke in parables; . This was to fulfill
the prophecy of Isaiah: 'I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things kept secret since the world was made'
" (Matthew 13:34, 35, NEB).
"Natural
things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature
and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with
the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural
to the spiritual kingdom, Christ's parables are links in the
chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven"
(Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 17, 18).
All
of Christ's teaching in a very unique and wonderful way is
a fulfillment of the prophecies of Isaiah, "All your
children shall be taught by the Lord" (Isaiah 54:13,
NKJV). "He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk
in His paths" (Isaiah 2:3, NKJV).
May
you be blessed as you meditate on the parables and stories
of Jesus.
