Power of the Parables
Some of the most powerful stories in all of scripture.
There’s a reason myths, fables, fairy tales and the like have been passed from generation to generation for centuries. There is nothing that sticks in the mind and impacts the heart like a story. They have the ability to be both memorable and, in many cases, easily understood.
Jesus taught many of his doctrines through the use of parables. Parables are short, usually fictional yet metaphorical tales that teach a truth. The truth is often understood through the use of a story and comparisons. It makes it simpler for the layman or laywoman to understand.
This page will link to each of the Parables that get shared or analyzed on this site. Most will be Jesus’ parables from the New Testament, but there will be a few others that share important, effective messages as well, maybe even some wisdom literature or parables from religious leaders from other religions.
