Jesus

Jesus Jesus’ parables will always be a wonderful way to get a point across to a crowd. They make the lesson or message more personable and help the relate the point more closely to their own life. Neil Lightfoot states eloquently when he says: The parables of Jesus will always remain the very center and heart of the teachings of Christ. They summarize what Jesus taught and lived. They tell us what the good life is, what the real values of life are. They speak to man, and bind principles upon him, in terms he can understand. They are plain practical lessons for all ages, even are they depict a religion that is designed for all men. The parables that appear only in Luke all make very important points that would be lost if the gentile physician did not record them. We can gain so much from the following stories that would be lost otherwise. The parable of the Good Samaritan appears in Luke 10:25-37. The parable involves a lawyer asking Jesus how to inherit eternal life.
