repeating the laws of the Torah and the stories of the Old Testament‚ Jesus used his own stories that were relevant and relatable to help the people fully grasp the meaning of God’s teachings. Many people did not always agree with his parables‚ nevertheless‚ whenever a parable was unclear‚ they would ask Jesus for clarification.

Godspell‚ by Stephen Schwartz‚ is a musical that depicts counterculturalists from all walks of life coming together to learn from a Jesus figure. The play directly quotes the stories and parables found in the book of Matthew.

Fables‚ parables and short stories all tell a story and all try to relay a meaningful message or moral.

taught by Jesus through the Gospels is a unity of all people under one message (Salzmann‚ 2009) Jesus is both the deliverer and the content of that message which is the love of God for all His people. Jesus taught this message with his life and his parables. He spent three years teaching his twelve disciples how to go forward and continue the Kingdom of God. Perhaps the challenge offered by His words “Do you still not understand?” (Mark 8:21‚ NIV) is where we need to begin again to see God’s Kingdom

1. I think Nietzche chose to express his ideas in the form of a parable because parables are not a pain to listen to‚ they are entertaining so they’ll keep the listener’s attention‚ they include characters who the listeners can relate to.

CCRS Question 1‚500 words In what sense can we say that human persons are made in the image of God and what does that have to do with morality? The quick answer here is that we are made in God’s image in every sense: God created humankind in his image: in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. (Gen 1:27) Therefore this means that we potentially all have within us our (His) moral sense. Now I haven’t been vastly original starting with this quote‚ as it is also in the
