Parables

Parable of the Unjust Steward

October 11, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

The Parable of the Unjust Steward has always been disturbing. At first reading, Jesus appears to commend the steward for being a liar and a thief. Careful study reveals an alternative.

Parable of the Prodigal Son

October 4, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

The Pharisees grumble against Jesus for eating with sinners. Jesus responds with 3 parables which challenge their definition of repentance and their attitude towards repentant and unrepentant sinners.

Parable of the Good Samaritan

September 27, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

What do you do if you know that — left to yourself apart from the grace of God — you are unable to “go and do likewise” (Luke 10:37)?

Parable of the Wheat & Weeds

September 20, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

Since the Messiah was expected to establish his kingdom on earth and that would involve a moral cleansing, why isn’t Jesus judging Gentiles and evildoers? The Parable of the Wheat & the Tares explains why Jesus’ ministry is not meeting this expectation.

Parable of the Sower & the Seed

September 13, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

Since just what you would expect to happen in the Parable of the Sower & the Seed happens, this story must have sounded pointless to those who heard it without explanation. Why would Jesus tell it?

Understanding Parables

September 7, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

Parables of Jesus

Parables are serious theology. But they are metaphorical theology. They teach through metaphor, simile, and dramatic action rather than through logic or reasoning, drawing us into the story.

Treasure in Parables

August 6, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

Treasure in Parables

So what’s the point? We’ll answer that question this fall as we study 12 parables of Jesus. Like mystery novels, parables contain a twist. Instead of discovering the did it, we discover a truth that will enrich our lives and deepen our faith.
