love a story nnd the good storyteller is seldom with out an audience jesus stands among the greatest story tellers of all time nnd his stories have grip ped the heart of folk of oil walks of life front his day to ours ills parables remain n constant mem orial to his aptness in the art of stoiytclling one might ask the question what is a parable in leply the dictionary says something like this a comparison a short narrative from which a moral or spiritual truth is drawn dr george buuritk in his book the pai ables of jesus writes the word mean literally a throwing alongside tin old definition an tarthl story with a heavenly meaning can h irdly be improved a parable then is a story with a lesson and tht parables of jesus ire stories of common ill at e folk iiki things whuh reveal the divme truth about mar nnd his god the parable diffeis from the fable m that il does not deal with the fabulous u with the natural that whu h ould have aetually happened or did happen in comparing thy parable and the allegory we find that the chief dlf- feienee lies in how the lesson is taught in the parable there is one eentral theme and the- story serves to lllusttatc it mid teach it the allegory on the other hand has a lesson counterpart for each detail of the tory consequently the al legory is more eomplicoted and less easy to understand than the parable to read a parable as nn allegory as is sometimes attempted usually turns it- simplicity into confusion nnd weakens the force of its print ipal thought jesus was n t the oiginatoi of the parable m thnd of tenth ing this was a custom of his people and other emtei n ton temporaries tins however true jesus was the master of siory teaching and in the words of our ice verse never man spoke like this man john 7 6 the hi hi leal

tntenee parables found in matt 13 1133 speak of the growth of the kingdom at fusl uliiic we might intel pre the two paiabhs to hold the same les son while there is a definite in- tt i lelationshlp this is not exactly tiut the parable of the mustard seed dials with the expansion of the kingdom fiom its humble be ginning in a dominated country to i kingdom of kingdoms thi faith was to giow even

life of mankind 03 leaven sub dues dough hero wo huvo yjjlc- turc of how the kingdom grows rather than reference to the extent of its growth in matt 13 verses 4440 we find two parables which stress the worth of the kingdom so valu able indeed that wise men are will ing to give up their all if neces- ry to obtain a i the parable of the lost sheep and the parabt of the lost com re paiallel in their teaching but different in their setting the for mer would be easily undeisloud by the man of the field amonc jesus istcners while the lattei would come clo e to the familiar exper ience of the

apply them to our dady living men are still lost god sill seeks and there is still lejoicing ovei a restored fellowship the hope of the king dom is still m in s greatest hope individually nitionally and inter nationally we believe this and because we do we believe the par ables of the bible know n under stood and applied will bung order out of chaos helpful quotations the real u st of oui under
