THE
CITY GATE MESSIANIC BIBLE STUDY
A HEBREW LOOK AT YESHUA'S PARABLES 001
The City Gate
Messianic Bible study - The Parables
What are the Parables? Simply put, a parable is a story but it is a
story, with intention. It is used to illustrate one or more moral,
spiritual, or instructive lessons. It is a concise and illustrative
narrative that uses human characters. Although a parable story may sound
like something that actually happened in real life, it is made up or
fictitious.
Who does not love a good story? Whether it inspires us, makes us cry,
teaches us, entertains, or causes us to ponder the deeper meanings of
life, communicating through a story is an art that will never go away.
Perhaps that is why the film industry makes billions of dollars every
year. They offer stories in a form that many enjoy. There is a type of
story that was used by the greatest teacher of all, YESHUA. HE used what
we call parables to speak to many of his listeners. We will take a look
at the parables of YESHUA, why he spoke using this very Jewish method of
teaching.
