Jesus's Kingdom Parables

A parable is story's that Jesus used that often had a twist to teach his disciples. The story's were used to teach. These were not story's that were just for fun, they had a purpose and meaning in everyone. The story's often had a twist at the end, that changed the story a lot. The story's could tell about God to Gods Kingdom, or pretty much anything to do with that. There are many different types of parables, but I will be doing one parable from Nature, Works and Wages, and open and closed doors. The first parable I will be doing is "The Grain of Wheat" in Jhon 12:24- 26. The parable is about how a grain of rice can tell us about God and his Kingdom.

    During the time of Samuel, Judges ruled the people in Israel. The Israelites said to Samuel, “ You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” (APA, NIV, 1 Samuel 8:5) They desire a king because they thought the other nations having a man, as a leader will help them win their fight battles. Having a king would allow them to be lazy, and have someone else make all the calls and take on the burden of responsibilities they would have to deal with. The Israelites did not trust God’s judgment after the countless times he has provided for them. They wanted to be just like the other nations not knowing what God had in store for them. God being a favorable God give them what they wanted.…

Saul of Tarsus fought to destroy the early church of Christ through murderous and violent acts aimed specifically at the converts of Christ. The conversion of Paul is well documented and is mentioned in Luke 9:1-19, 22:1-21 and 26:1-23. Paul’s life was changed forever at the moment of salvation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reads, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” Paul’s conversion is thought to be the most important human calling in the Bible. Many Biblical scholars believe he is the most influential apostle in history. He…

One cannot grasp the evil waiting in the hearts of the Characters until till the end of the story upon which a woman is stoned to death by everyone in the town, including her family.

    The Gospel of Luke was written prior to 70 A.D. This is certain due to the fact that Luke never mentions the destruction of temple from 70 A.D. Luke wrote his Gospel after his removal from Greece to Rome. (Reicke, 1964) Luke himself wrote the authorship of the Gospel of Luke. Luke’s name was only mentioned three times in the Bible, therefore there are not a lot of details about who Luke actually is. Luke is a very uncommon name in the Greek language. (Hayes, 1913 )The three accounts of Luke mention that he is a physician, Gentile, and evangelist. Luke did not write exclusively to the Jews, rather he wrote to everybody in that time. Luke wrote about the rich, poor, and women, he did not exclude any race, religion, or gender. (Karris, 1977) Luke…
