In my ministry, I have always been partial to the
parables. No matter how many times I have studied
them, I always discover something new, and I always
see myself in a new light. I have preached and taught
some of the parables dozens of times, and yet they
have never grown old.
But let me warn you: studying the parables is like
exposing yourself to a laser beam! It is a dangerous
thing to approach our Lord s parables with a careless
attitude. In these stories, Jesus deals with subjects
that no Christian can afford to treat lightly: salvation,
forgiveness of others, love for minority groups, the
right and wrong use of money, prayer, motives for
service, and many more.
In these studies, I have tried to shed some new
light on familiar truths. The parables are not bedtime
stories to put us to sleep, but bugle calls to wake us
upl So, if you find yourself jolted by some lesson that
is taught, give thanks to God and immediately apply
that lesson to your life.
I have always met myself in the parables, and I
suspect you wilt meet yourself as well. But don t be
afraid! It will do us both good!
