Jesus Parables - Paperback

The Gospels are filled with the precious words of Jesus. However, many of his teachings seem overly cryptic and strangely puzzling. Why did he sometimes speak directly and other times talk in circles?

As a teacher, Jesus understood two important truths. First, people let their guard down when you tell them a story. And second, when you want to explain something that's beyond comprehension, you need to use language that suggests rather than labels.

The parables of Jesus are all illustrations of God's kingdom. And when you begin to grasp their meaning, you catch a clearer glimpse into the mystery of God's realm. Jesus Parables compiles all of Jesus's stories into one place. Each one is presented in two forms-King James Version and Amplified Bible-so that you can consider the tales from different angles.

As you soak up these scriptures, you will begin to gain a deeper understanding of the life Jesus invites you to live. Hear the call-don't just read the words: put them into practice and follow the one who spoke them.
