The Parables of Jesus
Today I Heard a broadcast about the Parables on the White Horse Inn Online. A Christ-centered message that is well worth listening to .... Recommended!
What is the purpose of the parables? Some have argued that Jesus spoke in parables in order to reach the masses. But is that the true purpose of the parables as described in the Gospel accounts? What are the parables all about? Join the hosts as they discuss why Jesus taught in parables and what they mean. "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables; so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they turn again, and be forgiven." (Mk 4:11-12).
