Jesus taught in extended metaphors called parables. Although some people may think Jesus created these stories to teach simpletons, Jesus was being far from simple. He used images and narrative to illustrate a point and help people gain a better understanding of God.
The second part of the “Jesus, the Storyteller” series, just like the first, will help us understand the complexity and purpose of parables by exploring some of Jesus’ famous stories. Join the Discover the Word team as we unpack these parables and learn from the greatest Storyteller.
Learn more in Part 2 of Discover the Word’s series – “In Pursuit of Jesus: Jesus, the Storyteller” – hosted by Mart DeHaan, Elisa Morgan, Bill Crowder, and Daniel Ryan Day.
