Parables: The Mysteries of God's Kingdom Revealed Through the Stories Jesus Told

Jesus was a master storyteller, and the parables he often told were no exception. Beneath these unassuming stories were deeply profound spiritual lessons that were designed to reach all who heard them--from the faithful to the faithless--and they're still relevant today. In Parables, MacArthur argues that these short, memorable stories represented more than just symbolism or a clever teaching style--they were carefully crafted tales that made the mysteries of the Gospel more accessible to everyday believers. Parables will help you see Jesus' teachings in a brand-new light, addressing some of the most common questions on the topic, including:
• When did Jesus start teaching in parables?
• What makes parables so accessible?
• How can we interpret these stories?
• What common threads link each of the parables together?
• What do parables teach us about the kingdom of God?
