In this lesson we learned that Jesus communicated truth through miracles and parables. Give an example of each.
-
In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind by making mud with His saliva and applying it to the man’s eyes, restoring his sight. With God all things are possible.
In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus tells the story of a Samaritan who helps a wounded traveler, illustrating the importance of loving one’s neighbor and showing compassion, regardless of social boundaries.
-
He communicated through miracles such as the sermon on the mount and created more fish and bread than what was started with. This was a work proving he was the Son of God because only God can perform miracles. The story of the Prodigal Son is a parable because it is a story with a meaning behind it and could have happened, but it was not an actual event. People that want the truth will be able to take the truth from that story.
-
Jesus communicated truth through His miracles because only God had the power to provide miracles which means that Jesus was fully God as well as fully man. When Jesus healed the man who was crippled, He not only forgave his sins but He also healed him so that he could pick up His mat and walk. An example of a parable where Jesus communicated truth was when He spoke about where seeds will be sprinkled. Some seeds will fall onto rocks, some will fall into good soil but be strangled by weeds, some seeds will fall into good soil and grow. These are the opportunities that we have to share the gospel with others. Not all will receive it and become followers of Christ, but some will be changed forever.
