second way that Luke presents Jesus is as a teacher. A very common way the Jesus taught in the book of Luke was through parables. We see many parables scattered throughout Luke‚ such as the parable of the sower in 8:4-8‚ the parable of the lamp and jar in 8:16-18‚ the parable of the rich fool in 12:13-21‚ the parable of the lost sheep in 15:1-7‚ and so on and so forth.

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
