Think This Through
Why Parables? Well, Jesus might say “because I want people to listen, to see, and to think.” The Bible is often thought of by the faithful as an instruction manual or rule book, and that, Terry says, carries over into the parables of Jesus too. The problem is, none of that is an accurate description of the parables let alone the Scriptures as a whole. The parables and this Sower parable specifically are offered to give us the opportunity to consider the Kingdom of God, and to Think This Through. It’s time to be reintroduced to the true meaning of the Sower.
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
