-
In this lesson we learned that Jesus communicated truth through miracles and parables. Give an example of each.
-
Parables were stories in which every listener could place themselves, like the prodigal son.
Miracles were acts of love to demonstrate that He is God! -
Parable is the Sower in which He taught us to be fruitful disciples.
Miracle is raising Lazarus which was His final one and the way He showed He was God. -
An example of Jesus’s miracle is turning water into wine. One of the parable is sowing a seed or the prodigal son. I can read parables over and over again because they make you think and Jesus was a good story teller and wise teacher.
-
Raising Lazarus from the dead was a miracle.
The parable of the lost sheep is an example. -
Feed of the 5000 was a miracle followed by the teaching of the meaning of the Bread of Life. Also the Prodigal son parable teaches us many different things if we can understand it. The prodigal, who just wants the fun and good times in life, ultimately understood that the life he was leading was leading him in the wrong direction. When he finally came home, we see two distinct reactions. The father is overwhelmed with joy and celebrates the return of his lost son. His brother is mad and angry with his father over this. I see this is the bigger picture of this story. The anger and envy that the son had could have led him down the wrong path if the father had not intervened.
