Summary
Jesus’ parables. They are widely known–or at least often referenced. But does that mean they are well understood? Having slipped into the lingua franca of our day, we could be missing some of what He was communicating. If familiarity breeds contempt, perhaps our sense that we know these stories insulates us from what Jesus was saying about life with God.
If Jesus intended His parables to be much more than helpful illustrations or memorable word pictures, we might need to hear them in a fresh way. We could be overlooking what is essential if we read/listen to His parables simply as clever stories.
Like a chef who seasons the meal in such a way that the distinctive flavors of each element is enhanced, Brian invites the listener into an invigorating and fresh taste of what Jesus says in His parables. Listening to each parable attentive to Jesus’ own words and the context in which these stories are found, you’ll hear the voice of the Savior in renewed ways. No longer will you think of His parables as clever stories, but you’ll find them to be life-giving words from Jesus.
