What Are Parables? 🤔 The word parable comes from the Greek parabole, meaning “to place beside”—a story placed next to a spiritual truth. 📖 Jesus used everyday situations—a farmer sowing seed, a lost son, a dishonest judge—to reveal deep truths about God’s Kingdom. And here’s the genius of it: the stories made people think. Even the disciples asked: “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” (Matthew 13:10) Because Jesus didn’t force belief—He planted seeds. 🌱 The Power of a Story Jesus’ parables weren’t meant to give quick answers. Instead, they were designed to: 🔹 Spark curiosity 🔹 Challenge assumptions 🔹 Soften hearts 🔹 Ignite faith Those who were open would receive and be transformed. Those who weren’t? They would simply hear a story. That’s why we need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying! God’s Kingdom comes one transformed heart at a time. ❤️ 🙏 Let’s pray for open hearts as we journey through the parables together.
