The biblical parables are brilliant, witty and creative stories that communicate a message. These fictional stories draw comparisons to real life and illustrate a point. They are the work of an artist—a literary artist. Parables strike at the heart of a matter in our lives and provide us with an opportunity to consider, change and grow. Understanding them properly enriches our knowledge of God and gives us wisdom for life. Enjoy the genius of Jesus in His parables!
