Provocateur — The Parables of Jesus
The Good Samaritan
Read Luke 10.30-37
We all have stories. Stories help us make sense of who we are and the world we live in. They shape our culture. They shape our relationships. They shape our decisions. They shape us.
Jesus is the most famous storyteller who ever lived. Throughout His ministry, he taught with thought-provoking ‘parables’ — stories coloured with provocation, humour, intriguing characters, twists and turns — where His story is our story, and our story is found within His story.
So, let's unpack Jesus' parables of sadness, joy, death, life, darkness, light, hell, heaven, abandonment, acceptance, repentance, and grace.
