Jesus saw and understood that humanity was living in a false reality. This false reality was adorned with shrines, values, religion, devotion and all the things necessary to uphold this upside down world. In order to help those that desire to live in the Kingdom of God to see, hear and be he came to us using parables as a preferred way for unfolding the truth in order to lead us to new life. As we revisit with Jesus and his teachings on the Kingdom of God may we find ourselves shepherded out of the culture wars and firmly planted with Jesus in the Kingdom of God.
